  • Title: Urea cycle enzyme adaptation to dietary protein in primates.
    Author: Nuzum CT, Snodgrass PJ.
    Journal: Science; 1971 Jun 04; 172(3987):1042-3. PubMed ID: 4995676.
    Abstract:
    Activities of the five hepatic enzymes of the urea cycle increased two- to threefold in monkeys on a 60 percent protein diet compared with levels in monkeys on an isocaloric 6 percent protein diet. Equal adaptation occurred in rats on the same diets. These enzyme activities in adult humans approximate those of monkeys on a similar protein intake.
