(a) Effects of enteral administration of 0.5 M various amino acids, 0.5 M sodium pyruvate, 5% MCT, or amino acid combination (10 mL/kg bw) on blood ammonia increased by administration of 20% sucrose +1 M Gly (20 mL/kg bw) in double-KO mice. (b) Effects of administration of amino acid and other substances indicated in the figure on plasma citrulline in the double-KO mice. Asterisks (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.001; *** p < 0.0001) denote statistical differences between indicated groups by unpaired t-test (Figure 7(a)) Asterisks (* p <0.05; ** p < 0.001; *** p < 0.0001) denote statistical differences vs saline. Values are shown with mean±standard error of mean. From [72].
