Regulation of Amino Acid Metabolism in Mammals, by Bernard Schepartz, Ph.D. Philadelphia/London/Toronto: W. B. Saunders Company, 1973, 205 pp., $9.50

Harvey L. Levy M.D.1

During the past few years there has been published an increasing number of books reviewing the subject of amino acid metabolism. With a few notable exceptions, these books have been repetitious, have had no innovative central themes, and, consequently, have contained little information not already available.

However, reading the preface to this monograph evoked a good bit of excitement. For here was a book that would attempt to discuss mammalian amino acid metabolism not in the conventional manner of listing pathways but in terms of regulatory mechanisms and integration into the whole organism.
