Allantoin excretion in the rat [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 1973 1. Allantoin excretion was determined in forty-four rats; twenty-four rats were 21 d old and twenty were 90 d old. The animals receivedad lib.for 11 d diets that contained varying amounts of protein from casein and from gluten. Urinary allantoin excretion was determined during the last 3 d of the period.2. The amount of allantoin excreted in both young

Kinetics of allantoin metabolism in sheep [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 2000 The kinetics of allantoin metabolism were studied in rumen-cannulated sheep by means of a single intravenous injection of [4,5-14C]allantoin. The decline in the specific radioactivity of allantoin in plasma following the injection of tracer was best described by a double exponential function, indicating that allantoin moves in and out of two or more ...

Allantoin: A Potential Compound for the Mitigation of Adverse Effects of Abiotic Stresses in Plants
Plants, 2023 Stress-induced alterations vary with the species of plants, the intensity and duration of the exposure, and stressors availability in nature or soil. Purine catabolism acts as an inherent defensive mechanism against various abiotic stresses and plays a ...
