This podcast describes the sources of nitrogen that enter the Urea cycle including the role of 3 enzymes (ALT, AST, GDH) in collecting nitrogen from amino acid metabolism. The role of Glutamate as a sink for nitrogen is also covered. This biochemistry content may be useful to premedical and medical students.
