THE ABSORPTION OF PROTEINS 57 



The fate of the amines formed in putrefaction is also 

 fairly well established, at least in certain instances. 

 Thus, for example, it is known that the amine formed 

 from tyrosine, p . oxyphenylethylamine in passing the 

 organism is transformed to and excreted as p.oxy- 

 phenylacetic acid.
