title: Influence of cyclic nucleotides on protein synthesis in vascular smooth muscle.
abstract: The incorporation of leucine-14C into protein in bovine mesenteric arteries was augmented by cyclic GMP (10-3 M) and decreased by cyclic AMP (10-3 M). There was no effect of 5'AMP (10-3 M). The phosphodiesterase inhibiting drugs theophylline (10-3 M) and papaverine (5 x 10-5 g/ml) both decreased the leucine-14C incorporation.
