The concentration of free amino acids was determined in lumbar SCF in 37 fasting normal subjects. The values were compared with the concentration of the same amino acids measured in venous plasma collected simultaneously and with ventricular CSF amino acid concentrations. Twenty-three amino acids were identified and quantitated in CSF and plasma. Trace quantities of 8 other amino acids were also detected. The concentration of 13 amino acids in CSF was directly related to the plasma concentration. No such relationship was noted for the other 7 amino acids. Significant variations in the concentration of individual amino acids relating to both age and sex were noted. A large number of unidentified ninhydrin positive compounds were found in CSF. Preliminary studies have identified one of these as GABA.
