Abstract
This symposium is concerned with the assessment of protein nutritional status in man. The question we have to examine is whether measurements of enzyme activity are, or may be in the future, of any value for this purpose. There are several concepts which may be useful in considering this problem, such as the nature of enzymes and the regulation of their amount in the body, the effect on activity of a biochemical lesion at the cellular level, and the adaptive changes that reflect an altered balance of metabolic pathways.
