Hypotheses on this target 1
Inhibition
Activation1
Function preservation
Supplementation
Feedback restoration
Direct measurement
Activation1
Broken reaction routes hide retained nitrogen despite normal blood ammonia
Where this hypothesis actsCoupled liver–kidney preparations, followed by aged graft and sham models under repeated nitrogen challenges
What is proposedRestore a reaction that reconnects a complete nitrogen disposal route
With whatNot stated in the record
HowRestore one strategically selected reaction in a demonstrated functional cut set of the measured reaction network
Possible resultExpected recovery of nitrogen elimination and less first-episode nitrogen released as ammonia during the next challenge
