Abstract
The laboratory and clinic indices demonstrate that nonbuffered glutamic acid in contrast to sodium hydroxide buffered glutamic acid has been able to save sheep from ammonia toxicity induced via p.o. administration of urea. In this article we have tried to explain the mechanism of this preventive action of glutamic acid.
