title: Influence of progesterone on protein and RNA synthesis in cultured chick embryo liver cells.
abstract: Chick embryo liver primary cultures, when added with progesterone, exhibit, in comparison with the controls, a normal growth, a decline of both 3H-uridine uptake and incorporation into total RNA, a decline of 3H-leucine and 14C serine incorporation into the proteins. Progesterone is not able to stimulate phosvitin synthesis induction.
