  • Title: [Urea and arginase activity in rat liver during the administration of thioacetamide].
    Author: Feijóo B, Toledo C, Aylagas H, Cascales M.
    Journal: Rev Esp Oncol; 1984; 31(1):15-20. PubMed ID: 6545424.
    Abstract:
    The authors measure the concentration of urea and arginase activity at pH 6.5 and 9.7 in the rat liver at intervals during the administration thioacetamide (TAM) at a dose of 50 mg per kg of body weight and per day. The values obtained correlate the amount of urea and the arginase activity at pH 6.5 and 9.7 during TAM administration for the intervals comprised between 1-12 days and 12-30 days. These results suggest that the concentration of liver urea depends mainly of the level at arginase activity, which is regulated by the proton concentration of the internal environment.
