Abstract: | 14C leucine incorporation into proteins by cerebral cortex subcellular fractions was studied after the administration of the convulsant 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MP). It was found that MP decreased protein synthesis by isolated nerve endings and mitochondria but not by microsomal fractions. It was also observed that mitochondrial ATPase was inhibited. These findings suggest that the inhibition of protein synthesis might be an indication of a disequilibrium of the normal energy-yielding metabolism. |
