The philosophical question of constancy and change, as applied to the proteins of the animal body, has been a subject of controversy for over half a century. The experiments of Folin (1905 a) on the effect of the protein level of the diet on the composition of urine marked the beginning of modern concepts of protein metabolism. On the basis of his experiment, Folin (1905 b) assumed that protein catabolism is not all of one kind, but could proceed via two pathways which are essentially independent and different. One pathway of catabolism is variable in quantity of end products, while the other process is constant.
