In order to see whether isovalthinuria can be induced in animals other than the cat, that was found to excrete isovalthine in normal urine as previously reported³, using rat, guinea pig, rabbit and dog as test animals, isovaleric acid was adminstered either orally or parenterally and their urine was analyzed for the presence of isovalthine. As the result it was found that the rat, guinea pig, rabbit and dog administered with isovaleric acid orally or parenterally all excreted isovalthine in their urine, which normally does not contain it.</p
