Two young men kept in metabolic balance conditions were given successively 2 gm. supplements of single diamino acids daily, or combinations of these. The object was to see whether such oral loading with cystine or its chemical congeners would cause cystinuria or sulfur wastage by competition for renal reabsorption. Although combinations did produce measurable cystinuria, the effect is not significant in terms of the total daily turnover of cystine.
