Abstract
Sixteen of 60 newborn infants were treated with aspartic acid and other 16 with orotic acid. The other 28 newborns served as controls.
Oral administrations of each substance in a total dose of 200 mg per day, divided in two doses, were continued until the 4th day of birth.
A significant decrease in the concentration of serum bilirubin was observed after administration of both aspartic acid and erotic acid.
