    Abstract Ammonia, normally produced from catabolism of amino acids, is a deadly neurotoxin. As such, the concentration of free ammonia in the blood is very tightly regulated and is exceeded by two orders of magnitude by its physiologic derivative, urea. The normal capacity for urea production far exceeds the rate of free ammonia production by protein catabolism under normal circumstances, such that any increase in free blood ammonia concentration is a reflection of either biochemical or pharmacologic impairment of urea cycle function or fairly extensive hepatic damage. Clinical signs of hyperammonemia occur at concentrations > 60 micromol/L and include anorexia, irritability, lethargy, vomiting, somnolence, disorientation, asterixis, cerebral edema, coma, and death; appearance of these findings is generally proportional to free ammonia concentration, is progressive, and is independent of the primary etiology. Causes of hyperammonemia include genetic defects in the urea cycle ("primary") or organic acidemias ("secondary"), as well as genetic or acquired disorders resulting in significant hepatic dysfunction. Thus, because of the neurotoxic implications of hyperammonemia and the typical absence of other specific laboratory abnormalities, appearance of the clinical signs should trigger an emergent search for elevated blood ammonia concentration.

    Abstract Abstract: Basic biochemical principles of the regulation of metabolism are presented. Mechanisms that govern intracellular reactions in mammals which have evolved for metabolic control and fundamental theorems of theoretical biology and nonequilibrium thermodynamics are reviewed. Regulatory mechanisms of noncovalent forces, interactions with water, enzyme activity and degradation, coenzymes, protein biosynthesis, DNA replication, phospholipid-protein interactions, membrane structure, membrane-bound enzymes, transport systems, secretion and hormones are discussed. The role of compartmentation in metabolic regulation is also described. A final chapter examines the biochemical basis of disease.
