The two methods used in this study were compared. The difference in the percentage frequencies of detection by TLC and HPLC in non-vegetarian group was found to be similar for amino acids like histidine, isoleucine, valine, glycine and serine while variations were observed in the other amino acids (p&gt;0.05). The difference in the percentage frequencies of detection by TLC and HPLC in vegetarian group was found to be similar for amino acids like histidine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, valine, glycine, asparagine and serine while variation were observed in other amino acids (p&gt;0.05). The difference of percentage frequencies by TLC and HPLC was not significant within the vegetarian and non-vegetarian groups (p&gt;0.05). Urinary isoleucine was not detected in vegetarians by both methods while urinary leucine, aspartic acid and alanine were also not detected in any of the vegetarian and non-vegetarian individuals by both detection methods. It could be concluded that, if a rapid and simple method is required for qualitative detection of urinary amino acids, TLC would be a suitable technique.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">R Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2006</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Malaysian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Journal</mods:genre></mets:xmlData></mets:mdWrap></mets:dmdSec><mets:amdSec ID="TMD_oai:myais.fsktm.um.edu.my:2252"><mets:rightsMD ID="rights_oai:myais.fsktm.um.edu.my:2252_mods"><mets:mdWrap MDTYPE="mods"><mets:xmlData><mods:useAndReproduction>
