Abstract

From data collected at the Children's Hospital, Vancouver, during a two year period, 1976 - 1977, we have determined a range of values for children aged 3 months to 6 years for 24 plasma amino acids and for children aged 3 months to 10 years for 18 cerebrospinal fluid amino acids. A total of 26 plasma and 21 cerebrospinal fluid samples were accepted for our reference population. Six of the children in the plasma group were also in the cerebrospinal fluid group, making a total of 39 children in the study.
