Metabolites associated with the urea cycle do not decrease with age in the presence of AGPs. The main graphic shows a section of the urea cycle indicating metabolites with concentrations that change with age. Bar graphs indicate normalized metabolite concentrations at each of the three timepoints for samples obtained from control and AGP-treated birds. With the exception of L-Asp, age-related changes in metabolite concentrations are associated only with control samples. Note chickens are thought to lack N-acetylglutamate synthase, a key enzyme in the conversion of glutamate to N-acetylornithine [52]
