Protein synthesis in rat tissues during lactation. No effect of diethyl ether anaesthesia.

Abstract

Rates of protein synthesis were measured in mammary gland, liver, intestinal mucosa and muscle of lactating rats by using a flooding dose of [3H]phenylalanine that was injected into diethyl ether-anaesthetized dams via a lateral vein or into undisturbed dams via a jugular cannula. Ether anaesthesia did not alter rates of protein synthesis significantly in any tissue.
