Abstract
Studies on the specific defects in the metabolism of amino acids in protein malnutrition are of recent origin. Whitehead (1961, 1962) has reported the increased excretion of histidine and Urocanic acid in children with protein malnutrition. The cause for this abnormal excretion of histidine and urocanic acid in kwashiorkor is not known at the present time. The present investigations are concerned with the metabolism of histidine in albino rats under conditions of experimental protein malnutrition.
