Abstract
Summary
It is found that the rate of synthesis of RNA is increased in the pigeon pancreas following cholinergic stimulation. This increase occurs in the first hour following stimulation. There is also an increase in the rate of protein synthesis following cholinergic stimulation. Both of these results, while in agreement with current theories of protein synthesis, are in disagreement with previously published work on the cholinergic stimulation of the pigeon pancreas.
