Abstract
A rapid breakdown of urea-C14 is observed in the intact rat but this is entirely absent in the eviscerated animal. Due to the existence of this breakdown which is immediately followed by resynthesis, there is a type of urea cycle in the intact animal. No significant breakdown of urea occurs in either liver, kidney or stomach, but the intestinal washings rapidly decompose the substance.
