Abstract
The anabolic activity of formebolone was studied in 7 patients with nephrosis or renal insufficiency by measuring the amount of 14C-leucine incorporated into plasma proteins as an index of protein synthesis. The data demonstrate that the incorporation of label into the plasma albumin fraction was significantly increased after formebolone administration.Keywords
