Ammonia and Blood Sugar
In 1919 Fosse (6) showed that urea is formed by the oxidation of solutions containing such amounts of glucose and ammonia as are present in the blood. Recently Hynd (9) found that “A 2 per cent solution of glucose containing approximately 60 mg. NH3 showed no optical change at room temperature, but after 24 hours at 50” the rotation fell from +0.87” to +0.29” . . . . Similar results were obtain...
متن کاملRegulation of blood ammonia.
Disturbance of ammonia metabolism is an important but not the only factor in the genesis of hepatic coma. In this review mechanisms controlling the concentration of ammonia in the blood other than disturbed liver function have been discussed. The key function of ammonia in the pyridine nucleotide cyde has been outlined and it is suggested that the function of this cycle in patients with liver d...
متن کاملElevated Blood Ammonia Level Is a Potential Biological Risk Factor of Behavioral Disorders in Prisoners
Hydrothion (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) can be toxic for the human central nervous system and cause psychological disturbances and behavioral disorders. In order to evaluate the association between the two potential toxicants and mental health, in this study, we compare a male prisoner and control population. Forty-nine male prisoners and 52 control volunteers took part in the study. An aggressive b...
متن کاملDetermination of Ammonia in the Blood
The estimation of ammonia in the blood is a difficult matter not. only because ammonia is present in very minute quantities, but also because it is rapidly split off from some labile components of shed blood. The removal of the ammonia by means of an air current is subject to a source of error in as much as the amount of ammonia recovered may vary with the rapid&y of the aeration and the temper...
متن کاملAn automated microassay for blood ammonia.
A microassay for blood ammonia has been developed. After dilution, blood is dialyzed by a continuous flow procedure, and the ammonium ions in the dialysate are assayed colorimetrically by the hypochlorite-phenol Berthelot reaction. Concentrations from 1 to 400 mumol/l NH+4 can be measured in a 50 mul whole blood sample. Using slight modifications, concentrations up to 800 mumol/l NH+4 can be de...
