| Description | The plasma amino acid levels in five patients with hyperosmolar nonketotic diabetic coma and in seven normal subjects were analysed. In the patients with hyperosmolar nonketotic diabetic coma, total amino acids were generally low, especially, the concentrations and the molar ratios of arginine, taurine and serine were significantly low, and ornithine decreased only at the concentration. The level of phenylalanine increased both at the concentration and the molar ratio, and tyrosine did only at the molar ratio. The significance of such changes in the plasma is discussed in relation to diabetic ketoacidosis or lactic acidosis. |
