Stimulation increases incorporation of [3H]lysine into rat brain and liver proteins.
Exposure of rats to electric footshocks or merely to the footshock apparatus increased the incorporation of [3H]lysine into brain and liver protein. The effect was present in both fore-and hindbrain. The footshock treatment was the more effective stimulus, producing larger and more significant changes. These results resemble those previously observed in C57Bl/6J mice, and thus suggest that altered protein or amino acid metabolism is a general response to stress in rodents.
