The effect of the administration of insulin to the hypophysectomized rat on the incorporation of amino acids into liver proteins in vivo and in a cell-free system

ability of the microsomal particles of liver from hypophysectomized rats to incorporate amino acids into protein. The maximum specific activity of the protein of these particles was depressed as a result of hypophysectomy and, in addition, this maximum value was attained at a longer time interval after injection of the radioactive amino acids than was the case with normal rats. Treatment of the hypophysectomized rats with growth hormone reversed both these trends to some extent.
