RESUMO
Aminoacid-activating enzymes and argininosuccinase were measured in liver-biopsy samples from twenty-two malnourished and recovering Jamaican infants. Aminoacid-activating-enzyme levels were increased initially and fell on recovery; argininosuccinase activity was low initially and rose on recovery. It is suggested that these changes are part of the adaptation which takes place in aminoacid metabolism in the malnourished state. (AU)
