| Abstract: | Total free amino acid content in foetal liver, kidney, skin and striated muscle increases sharply during pregnancy. After delivery, there is no significant change in tissue total amino acid pools. The essential free amino acid pool in striated muscle decreases after delivery. This decrease suggests a relationship with the increased protein content in striated muscle. |
