a study was undertaken of the conditions that might operate in the synthesis and hydrolysis of arginine by axolotl liver homogenate to test a previous postulate that liver arginase of the non-metamorphosed mexican axolotl is not able to hydrolyse arginine formed from citrulline and aspartic acid , though it can split exogenous arginine , and also that an enhanced capacity to hydrolyse endogenous arginine plays a major role in the advent of ureotelism observed during the metamorphosis of the axolotl .
