[Serum free aminoacid levels in a group of hyperuricemic subjects from the Aosta Valley (author's transl)].

Abstract

The behavior of serum free aminoacids has been analyzed in a group of 31 hyperuricemic subjects and in a control group of 26 normal subjects. In the hyperuricemic males it has been observed a remarkable decrease of glycine and arginine values, while in the hyperuricemic females it has been noted a decrease in serum glycine and serine. The results are discussed.
