title: Long-term protein deficiency in adult rats : Effects on different proteins of a sympathetic ganglion.
abstract: The superior cervical ganglia (SCG) of adult rats were examined for total protein, LDH and TOH activity, and S-100 and tubulin content after 30 days of a proteinfree diet. After the depletion period, significantly lower values in all these parameters, in comparison with those in animals of the same age fed the complete diet, were found. The difference between the resistance of SCG and that of CNS to protein deficiency is discussed.
