title: [The effect of electroconvulsive shock on protein synthesis in Japanese quail].
abstract: Trials were conducted to study the effect of electroconvulsive shock in the susceptible period of post-natal development upon the proteosynthesis of the Japanese quail. Proteosynthesis was determined by the incorporation of labelled amino acid and nucleoside in the proteins and DNA of liver and oviduct. The tested birds showed an earlier sexual maturity, higher incorporation of labelled amino acid in protein and labelled nucleoside in DNA in liver and oviduct, and a higher egg yield at a lower feed consumption during the studied period. The results demonstrate a stimulative effect of electroconvulsive shock on proteosynthesis in liver and oviduct in the Japanese quail.
