    Abstract : Chronic renal failure and uraemia are characterised by gradual loss of renal function with an accumulation of metabolic and toxic waste products as well as disturbances in several organs and hormone functions. Two factors affect the catabolism in renal failure - i.e., the haemodialysis procedure and metabolic acidosis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Amino acid and protein turnover in human skeletal muscle

    Author : Rokhsareh Farrah Vesali; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
