Branched-chain amino acids vs lactulose in the treatment of hepatic coma: a controlled study.

TL;DR: It is suggested that branched-chain amino acids may reverse coma either by competing with brain entry of the aromatic amino acid or by metabolically decreasing free tryptophan and ammonia.

Influences of specimen processing and storage conditions on results for plasma ammonia.

TL;DR: Rules for collection and storage of specimens for ammonia determinations should be standardized and strictly observed to avoid increases in ammonia concentrations in stored plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Argininemia treated from birth

TL;DR: The infant was given glucose water until the essential amino acid mixture was started at 18 hours of age; a milk formula was never offered and the infant was the only feeding for the first four months of life.

The measurement of ammonia in whole blood, erythrocytes, and plasma.

TL;DR: The ammonia found in freshly drawn human venous blood is believed to be preformed true ammonia, present as ammonium ions and not an artifact.
Journal ArticleDOI

The kinetics of the hydrolysis of urea and of arginine

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the kinetics of the reaction between ammonium and cyanate ions and concluded that the reaction is a mixture of ionic strength on the velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid Determination of Plasma Ammonia by an Ion-Exchange Technic

TL;DR: The method combines separation of ammonium ion, using a strongly acidic cation-exchange resin, with a sensitive colorimetric procedure which simultaneously elutes and colorimetrically reacts with the ammonia ion to produce a stable color.

Rapid Determination of Ammonia in a Perchloric Acid Supernate from Blood, by Use of an Ammonia-Specific Electrode

TL;DR: A simple, rapid method was developed for accurate determination of ammonia in whole blood and the free ammonia liberated in the supernate on alkalinization was measured directly with an ammonia-specific electrode after adjusting the sample temperature to 25 °C.
