Abstract
The rate of protein synthesis was assessed in liver, stomach, small and large intestine and in the whole body of rats by injection of 100 .mu.mol of [14C]L/100 g body wt. In each of the tissues turnover was very rapid, so that taken together they accounted for 43% of the protein synthesized by the whole animal.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
