ABSTRACT
The splanchnic net fluxes of ammonia, urea and glutamine were measured during and after
feeding. Hepatic glutamine synthetase activity was also estimated. Ammonia load to and extraction
by the liver increased following feeding but returned to baseline within seven hours. During
feeding, hepatic glutamine production increased and was complemented by an increase in glutamine
extraction when the ammonia load had returned to baseline. Hepatic glutamine synthetase activity
followed an inverse trend.
