Summary

This is a descriptive work on the changes induced by lactation on the total and essential-free amino acid pools in plasma and several tissues of the rat (liver, kidney, skeletal muscle and skin). Plasma essential-free amino acid levels are increased at the peak of lactation. Significant changes have been also found for free amino acid pools in the liver and the skeletal muscle as well as in the kidney. Conversely, skin levels are very constant throughout lactation.
