The effect of dietary amino acids on amino acid-catabolising enzymes, e.g., tryptophan pyrrolase, threonine dehydratase and arginase, in liver was studied by their forcible administration to rats depleted of protein. Among 12 amino acids tested, only tryptophan and methionine were found to cause a consistent increase in enzyme activities.
