Effects of biotin deficiency on serum proteins and plasma amino acids
Experientia
|November 15, 1978
Abstract:
In biotin-deficient rats, a decrease of total proteins, attributable to a decrease of albumin and alpha1-globulin fractions, a decrease of the pre-beta-lipoproteins and an increase of the alpha-lipoproteins, was observed, together with a rise of total amino acids. Such a situation may be related to the influence of biotin on the synthesis of RNA and proteins.
