Abstract
The serum concentration of free amino acids has been investigated by paper chromatography in a series of cases of rheumatoid arthritis. Low concentrations of arginine, glutamine, tyrosine, and histidine were found in rheumatoid arthritis, while the glutamic acid levels were higher than normal. The significance of these findings is briefly discussed.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
