Abstract
Summary
The administration of 0.25 mmoles of l-tryptophan or 0.50 mmoles of l-methionine/100 g body weight by stomach tube to fasted, female rats decreased the proportion of liver ribosomes found in the monomer and dimer fractions and increased the proportion in polysomes. The same dosage of l-phenylalanine also induced aggregation, but not as much as did tryptophan or methionine. l-Alanine or l-threonine had no effect on the aggregation of liver ribosomes.
