  1. 1. Fractional flux rates of Nτ-methylhistidine (3-methylhistidine; Me-His) of skin and gastrointestine were measured by administering [methyl-3H]methionine to rats.

  2. 2. The results showed that the contribution of these tissues to urinary excretion of Me-His was at least 16.6 %. This means that when fractional catabolic rates of myosin and actin were estimated from urinary excretion of Me-His, the part of Me-His derived from skin and gastrointestine should not be neglected.
