Early onset of urea synthesis and ammonia detoxification pathways in three terrestrially developing frogs

J Méndez-Narváez, KM Warkentin - Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2023 - Springer
Frogs evolved terrestrial development multiple times, necessitating mechanisms to avoid
ammonia toxicity at early stages. Urea synthesis from ammonia is a key adaptation that …
