[The content of fresh material, DNA and RNA in different tissues of turkeys during growth. 1. Analysis of the M. pectoralis superficialis, the M. quadriceps femoris, the cerebrum and cerebellum and the spinal cord].
First Communication: Analyses of M. pectoralis superficialis, M. quadriceps femoris, Cerebrum, Cerebellum, and Spinal Cord. The fresh matter level in the M. pectoralis superficialis of turkey was found to increase by a factor of 915, between the first and 224th days from hatching. DNA went up by a factor of 169. The protein: DNA quotient was increased 8.5 times. RNA concentrations in the same muscle went up from 2.65 +/- 0.06 to 6.02 +/- 0.30 mg/g of fresh matter, within the first and seventh days from hatching, and then dropped to 3.61 +/- 0.21 mg/g of fresh matter up to the 14th day, to 2.98 +/- 0.11 mg/g by the 28th day, and to 1.16 +/- 0.05 mg/g by the 224th day. The M. quadriceps femoris exhibited a 111-fold fresh matter increase, from the first through 224th days, while DNA went up by a factor of 44. The cerebrum exhibited a 3.9-fold increase of fresh matter and a 5.2-fold increase of DNA, between the first and 224th day. The cerebellum rises were 6.4-fold or 3.2-fold. Spinal cord values for the same period of time were 27.8-fold for fresh matter and 13.2-fold for DNA.
