✦ Synopsis
Free amino acids were estimated in the plasma of Leghorn, Cornish and White Rock hens, bred under identical conditions. It was found that the plasma of Leghorn hens had a lower content of amino acids. The differences were especially pronounced for proline, glutamic acid and glycine. It was established that a lower percentage of valine, leucine and isoleucine was typical of Leghorn hens in comparison with Cornish hens. The obtained results indicate that the level of free amino acids in blood plasma is genetically controlled.

The content of free amino acids was determined in erythrocytes of adult 'Leghorn' (Lg, 'White Rock' (WR) and 'Cornish' (Cr) hens, bred under identical conditions. The concentration of total amino acids was twice as high in the erythrocytes as in plasma, amounting to 396 μm/100 ml, 424 μm/100 ml and
## Abstract Amino acid analysis in plasma samples is a very important and difficult task and could represent a useful tool for preventing the occurrence of some diseases (diabetes, cancer, HIV disease). Even though amino acid analysis has been thoroughly investigated, there are still some steps whi
In order to determine the effects of large variations in plasma amino acid concentrations upon human erythrocyte amino acid content, the plasma concentration of blood samples was enhanced (x 3.8) by adding amino acids or decreased (x 0.49) by plasma dilution. Before and after incubation (30 s at 37
