In this review, the term “ribosome” will be used in the general sense, without reference to the
state of particle aggregation. Otherwise the terms “monomer”,“polyribosome”,“ribosomal …

The isolated perfused rabbit liver was used to compare the acute effects of alcohol and
amino acids on albumin synthesis, polysomal aggregation, and RNA turnover. The perfusion …

1. The effect of phenobarbitone on the rate of protein synthesis and on the sedimentation
patterns of various liver subcellular fractions containing ribosomes was studied in rats. 2 …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the influence of alcohol and altered nutrition on
albumin synthesis. Serum albumin is manufactured solely in the liver on polysomes bound …

The turnover of free and membrane-bound liver ribosomes has been studied in 150 g male
rats fed a protein free diet for 30 days and compared to that of control rats at the beginning of …

The metabolism of structural RNAs and structural proteins of ribosomes in hepatic free and
membrane-bound polyribosomes of rats was investigated. The results indicated that …

Materials and Methods Male Wistar rats, weighing 200-250 g, were used. They were fed ad
libitum on balanced diet (CLEA CA-1, Nippon Clea, Tokyo), and kept in a room of constant …

Following administration of [2-14 C] orotic acid to rats, comparisons were made of changes
with time in the specific activities of these liver constituents: cytoplasmic ribosomes, uridylic …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses transportation of cellular proteins. Proteins that
are found in the cytosol, such as hemoglobin, ferritin, and many enzymes, are apparently …
