## Abstract This study aimed to (1) determine if ammonia (as NH~4~Cl) injected intra‐peritoneally into the ureogenic slender African lungfish, __Protopterus dolloi__, was excreted directly rather than being converted to urea; (2) examine if injected urea was retained in this lungfish, leading to de

Rats with experimental streptozotocin-induced diabetes (75 mg/kg) were divided into two groups. One group was free fed (n = 8), the other group (n = 7) pair fed to a group of control animals (n = 8). The nitrogen and energy balances of the control rats were positive. In the free-fed diabetic rats th
A study was made on adult rats (170 g) of the effect of nialamide (20 mg/100 g of diet), an inhibitor of monoaminooxidase, administered for 15 or 30 days (short or long-term, respectively), with food intake controlled (pair fed), on the absorption and retention of nitrogen, and on the nitrogen conte
Monopterus albus has to deal with high environmental ammonia concentrations during dry seasons and agricultural fertilization in rice fields. In this study, NH 4 HCO 3 (10 mmol per g fish) was injected into the peritoneal cavity of M. albus, raising the level of ammonia in the body, in order to eluc
A pot experiment was conducted in a 14C-labelled atmosphere to study the influence of living plants on organic-N mineralization. The soil organic matter had been labelled, by means of a 200-days incubation, with 15N. The influence of the carbon input from the roots on the formation of microbial biom
