Denny Bier (Huston), Luc Conober (Paris), M. Kadowaki (Niigata), Sid Morris (Pittsburgh) and R. Elango (Vancouver).

The event was organized at the “L’Hotel du Collectionneur” (Paris, France) and as many as 76 leading scientists participated. Day 1 morning session was focused on animal and human data relevant to the safety of the semi-essential amino acid arginine. Presentations and discussions were emphasizing the outcome of ICAAS-sponsored research projects and on the use of new data to determine the upper...
