Abstract
Although rats fed on a high protein diet of 70% casein showed hyperazotemia, administration of the extract from Rhei rhizoma showed decreases of blood urea nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen in the portal vein, urea concentration in hepatic tissue, Gln, Lys, Thr, Ala, Gly, Ser, Glu, Pro, Arg, Tyr, Cit, Asp, etc. in serum, while significant increases of Glu and Asp in hepatic tissue were observed. The mechanism of the blood urea nitrogen-decreasing activity of rhubarb extract is discussed on the basis of the present results.
