Protein metabolism was studied in patients with alimentary obesity. It was found that the reduction of excessive body weight under the action of a complex of measures, including dietetics, exercise therapy and physiotherapy, induced positive shifts in the amino acid spectrum of blood. The blood serum creatinine content and urinary excretion of creatinine and creatine remained unchanged. The nitrogenous balance was maintained even in cases of highly restricted diets.
