Abstract
Experiments on male Wistar rats revealed inhibition of incorporation of labeled amino acids into tissue proteins during swimming. If prolonged swimming was accompanied by increased adrenocortical activity, the blocking of protein synthesis in the liver disappeared. Adrenalectomy prevented activation of alanine aminotransferase and the fall in the free amino acid level in the liver during physical exertion, whereas injection of corticosterone into adrenalectomized animals restored these changes.
