Abstract
Liver slices of very young white Leghorn chicks have been found capable of urea production. A correlation seems to exist between the protein level of the diet and the urea formation in the liver. When birds are subjected to a relatively long fasting period, they metabolize their own tissue proteins, and urea appears in the liver.
