Protein Synthesis in Intestinal Mucosa: the Effect of Route of Administration of Precursor Amino Acids

  • Text
  • PDF
Abstract

All cells in the intestinal villus of the rat are capable of synthesizing protein from amino acid precursors (l-leucine). Moreover, polyribosomes from both crypts and villi are equally able to incorporate l-leucine into protein. Unlike other tissues, e.g. liver, there is no diurnal variation of protein synthesis in the intestine of the unfed rat, whether leucine is administered intraluminally or intravenously.

Citation information
This citation data is accumulated from CrossRef, which receives citation information from participating publishers, including this journal. Not all publishers participate in CrossRef, so this information is not comprehensive. Additionally, data may not reflect the most current citations to this article, and the data may differ from citation information available from other sources (for example, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus).
