Urinary copper losses in infants receiving free amino acid solutions

Abstract: Plasma amino acids and the 24-h urinary excretion of copper and amino acids were measured in 18 infants receiving 0.4 g N/kg/day as free amino acids as part of a total parenteral nutrition regimen. Urinary copper excretion correlated positively with total excretion of alpha-amino nitrogen, in general, and the excretion of glycine, methionine, histidine, and lysine, in particular. Infants who received FreAmine II as compared to FreAmine III generally had increased plasma concentrations of glycine and methionine… Show more

“…pH was adjusted by 0.1 M HNO 3 , and solutions were heated for boiling on a hot plate for 10 min to decompose the metal complexes. Sample taken from electrolytic process was treated by 1 M HNO 3 and heated for metal complexes decomposition, with ought previous preparation. The solution was quantitatively transferred to 100 mL volumetric flask and completed to the mark with DDW water.…”

“…Amino acid bound metals may account for most of the urinary metals, as has been reported for zinc . Urinary copper losses of infants receiving free amino acid solutions intravenously have been reported to correlate positively with total excretion of ~t-amino nitrogen and the excretion of glycine, methionine, histidine and lysine (Tyrala et al, 1982). Amino acid absorption may be more rapid from peptides and L-amino acid mixes than from whole proteins.…”
