Hepatic zonation of carbon and nitrogen fluxes derived from glutamine and ammonia transformations
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Glutaminase predominates in periportal hepatocytes and it has been proposed that it determines the glutamine-derived nitrogen flow through the urea cycle. Glutamine-derived urea production should, thus, be considerably faster in peri...
