Alpha-amino nitrogen in cerebrospinal fluid and its alterations in meningitis, multiple sclerosis, and some other neurological disorders

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The concentration of alpha-amino nitrogen (a measure of total amino-acids) was estimated in 58 samples of cerebrospinal fluid in which other findings were normal. Values for lumbar and ventricular cerebrospinal fluid in adults, and lumbar cerebrospinal fluid in children, are reported. A relationship was found between the concentrations of alpha-amino nitrogen in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid and in plasma.
