Abstract
1. The patterns of the free plasma amino acids in the pregnant guinea-pig and her foetuses, near term, are described. The concentration of each amino acid was higher in the foetal plasma than in the maternal. The foetal:maternal gradients (F:M) varied for each amino acid; the straight chain amino acids had the highest F:M ratios.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
