| dc.description.abstract | Six common ringtail possums (Pseudocheirus peregrinus) were intravenously injected with a standard dose of radioactive 3-Methylhistidine (N(τ)-[Me-14C]MeH). The dose was rapidly and quantitatively excreted by the possums. More than 90% of radioactivity was recovered within 3 days. Thin layer chromatography and mass spectroscopy showed that 97% of recovered radioactivity was associated with unmetabolised N(τ)-[Me14C]MeH. These data satisfy two key requirements for the validity of urinary 3-Methylhistidine (N(τ-)3MeH) excretion as an index of muscle protein catabolism. | en |
