Abstract
Summary
Mice were exposed to compression with 3 atm (rel.) of an air O2 mixture containing 27% 02 for 72 hr. They were injected with 1 μCi of 14C-lysine at the initiation, 24 and 48 hr after compression was started. The cpm and sp act values of the protein of the carcass were determined. The sp act values were 10, 13, and 14% greater than that of the controls in the three groups. This appeared to be related to reduced food intake rather than any specific effect on nitrogen metabolism.
Most of the technical aspects of this project were carried out by Mr. Kenneth Richie.
