abstract：:In a study employing mouse brain synaptosomes and synaptosomal sonicates, the complete metabolic machinery was found to be present for transport of arginine into synaptosomes, its conversion to ornithine, and the formation from the latter of glutamic acid, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and proline. The results show that a ...
