Abstract
The concept of linked intestinal and renal amino acid transport defects was tested in scorbutic guinea-pigs. These animals developed a renal glycinuria when fed a diet deficient in Vitamin C for 3 to 4 weeks. At that time, no defect in intestinal glycine transport could be demonstrated. Uptake of alanine-C 14 and lysine C 14 in the gut was also normal.
