title: Effect of protein depletion on the RNA content and proteosynthesis level in rat liver and brain.
abstract: The authors studied the effect of protein depletion on the RNA content of rat liver and brain and on the incorporation of 14C-leucine into the microsomal and soluble liver and brain fractions. They failed to find a direct relationship between the amount of RNA and the rate of proteosynthesis in the organs in question. The changes found in 14-C-leucine incorporation are discussed in relation to previous studies.
