RNA synthesis in regenerating mouse liver evaluated by incorporation of (methyl- super(14)C)methionine and by determination of RNA polymerase activity

The synthesis of RNA during mouse liver regeneration was studied by two different methods at 24 and 48 h after partial hepatectomy. Both methods revealed an increased synthesis of rRNA during mouse liver regeneration. The results are discussed in relation to previous results from this laboratory, wh...

Description
Summary:The synthesis of RNA during mouse liver regeneration was studied by two different methods at 24 and 48 h after partial hepatectomy. Both methods revealed an increased synthesis of rRNA during mouse liver regeneration. The results are discussed in relation to previous results from this laboratory, which have shown that the incorporation of orotic acid or uridine into RNA is not increased in mouse liver regenerating after partial hepatectomy.
