The Metabolism of Serum Proteins

A study of the Electrophoretic Pattern of the serum Proteins

The metabolism of serum proteins. 3. Kinetics of serum protein metabolism during growth.

In most studies of the turnover rates’ of the serum proteins, the incorporation into, or more usually, the loss of radioactivity from, the protein fractions are measured. Such data are interpreted as an index of the turnover rate, assuming that the animals are in a “steady state” with respect to serum proteins. The interpretation of the loss of a radioactive protein from the vascular system in ...

The Metabolism of Serum Proteins in Neonatal Rabbits

1. Incorporation of S(35)-labeled amino acids into serum proteins has been studied in neonatal and developing rabbits. It was found that, per unit weight, neonatal rabbits synthesized only about 1/36 of the gamma globulin, 1/7 of the beta globulin, (1/2) of the alpha globulin, and (1/8) of the albumin that an adult synthesized. The growing rabbit developed the ability to synthesize various seru...
