It stimulates the growth of animals, plants, and microorganisms, participates in carbohydrate metabolism, and is necessary for the growth and life activities of organisms. It also serves as a measurement indicator in routine newborn screening for urea cycle abnormalities and can cause hepatic steatosis and hepatomegaly in rats\u003csup\u003e[1][2][3][4]\u003c\/sup\u003e.
