The isolation and properties of phenylalanine hydroxylase from human liver
TL;DR: Phenylalanine hydroxylase was prepared from rat liver and purified 200-fold to about 90% purity; it is postulated that catalase (or other peroxidase) plays a part in the hydroxolation reaction independent of the protection by catal enzyme of enzyme and cofactor from inactivation by a hydroperoxide.

Arterial plasma amino acids in patients with serious postoperative infection and in patients with major fractures.
TL;DR: Arterial plasma amino acids were measured in 27 patients with serious septic complications after operation, 15 patients following reduction of femoral shaft fractures and nine patients following uneventful major abdominal surgery to suggest that many of the patients with sepsis had seriously impaired liver metabolism.

Insulin decreases muscle protein loss after operative trauma in man.
TL;DR: It is suggested that insulin, in combination with infused calories and protein, decreases the loss of muscle protein after trauma and the partial reduction in the excretion of 3-methylhistidine and nitrogen is suggested.

Femoral arteriovenous amino acid differences in septic patients.
TL;DR: It is suggested that in the catabolism of sepsis there is greater oxidation of branched-chain amino acids in muscle than in theCatabolism associated with uncomplicated surgery.

Amino acid metabolism in patients with severe burns.
TL;DR: In this paper, the transamination of branched-chain amino acids (valine, isoleucine, leucine and leucinine) was investigated in non-septic burn patients.
