Introduction New elements in Urea Cycle issues advent A. Lowenthal Laboratory of Neurochemistry, Born-Bunge beginning, Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen, Wilrijk, Belgium This social gathering is under no circumstances the 1st assembly dedicated to urea cycle illnesses. it's been preceeded through conferences held within the Netherlands and in Spain. for this reason the justification for one other assembly isn't instantly obtrusive. the cause of it truly is that the issues relating to urea cycle illnesses are constructing quick, as instanced inter alia by means of I) the relation saw among hyperornithinemia and gyrate atrophy and the healing acquisitions which consequence from it 2) the remedy of hyperammonemias. If the analysis of urea cycle illness is well proven via following general rules and methods, i.e. through amino acid research, without or with earlier loading checks, through ammonemia size and through enzyme choice, additionally if those operations produce transparent and certain conclusions within the subject of genetics and preventive medication, but many physiopathological questions stay unanswered and a few healing difficulties of those stay unsolved.

Hagiwara, T. Nagasaki, Y. Saito and Y. Inada Laboratory of Biological Chemistry, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Ookayama, Meguroku, Tokyo 152, Japan INTRODUCT ION The final obligatory step for the metabolism of nitrogeneous compounds in human body is the conversion of ammonia to urea through carbamyl phosphate and urea cycle with the aid of ATP.
Wide variation of OTC activities in white blood cells found in the present study and those by Wolfe and Gatfield (I) and Snodgrass et al (2), may be related to individual difference of two cell populations. Apparent Km of OTC for carbamyl phosphate and for ornithine are approximately 5 and 10 times, respectively, higher in white cells than those in liver. On the other hand, apparent Km of OTC in jejunal mucosa are close to those of liver. Other parameters including heat stability and pH profile are again close to those of liver.
