J. Jankela et M. Baranovska, THE GRAVITY AND PROTEIN-METABOLISM OF SKELETAL-MUSCLES IN JAPANESE-QUAIL - IN-VIVO AND IN-VITRO COMPARISON, ACT VET B, 65(1), 1996, pp. 77-81
The aim of the experiment was to observe the effect of increased gravi
tational field (2 g) on the synthesis and degradation rates of skeleta
l muscles proteins in Japanese quail. The observations in vivo were co
mpared with results obtained on the isolated muscles. The rates of syn
thesis and degradation of mixed proteins in m. biceps brachii and m. i
liotibialis anterior were estimated. It was shown, that the protein sy
nthesis rates only in in vivo experiment were affected. A decrease of
protein degradation rates in both conditions were observed.
