Resum
Free amino acids of cerebrospinal fluid and serum in hepatic coma have been studied. Citrulline was found to form about 80% of the total free amino acids in cerebrospinal fluid, whereas serum contained slightly higher levels of tyrosine, methionine, phenylalanine and glutamine. The higher level of citrulline in cerebrospinal fluid may be attributed to the inhibition of argininosuccinic acid synthetase in this disease.
