Intestinal microflora are known to metabolize urea to ammonia and scavenge nitrogen (N) for the synthesis of amino acids. Studies feeding 15N-ammonium chloride or 15N-urea to animals and to humans, demonstrate the appearance of 15N-lysine in gut microbial lysine and in host lysine. However, the amount of 15N-lysine transferred to the host is difficult to assess directly using current methods. It is important to understand the role of the gut microflora in human lysine metabolism, especially in conditions where dietary lysine intake ma
