β¦ Synopsis
The unidirectional influx of IT-L-alanine into the external integument surface of Glycera dibranchiata was measured in the presence and absence of sodium using lucite influx chambers which permitted brief exposures of only the external surface of the body wall to isotope. The influx of alanine was the

## Abstract The uptake of Lβalanine into BHK21βC13 cells in culture has been studied. This amino acid appears to be transported essentially via a relatively low affinity, high capacity, sodium ion dependent transport system. Inhibition studies using other amino acids or their analogues provided inf
Cells were isolated from the liver of the skate and the uptake of beta-alanine followed using [14C]-beta-alanine. The isolated hepatocytes showed good viability, were found to accumulate beta-alanine from the incubation medium, and did so in a manner indicating a transport system involving a saturab
