Abstract:
This paper reports the presence of urea in rat brain and the evidence that it does not come from blood contamination. The amount of urea is higher during the first 4 days after birth, and it decreases thereon as the brain develops. Urea concentration in brain remains constant from the age of 9 days to 1 year. A possible mechanism of brain urea formation is discussed.
