Abstract
A burn of the wall of the left ventricle was produced in newborn rats. Synthesis of RNA in the muscle cells of the heart at a distance from the site of the burn was investigated by electron-microscopic autoradiography 24 h after injury. The tissue was fixed 2 and 6 h after injection of uridine-3H. The density of distribution of silver grains above the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cardiomyocytes was lower in the experimental animals than in the controls.
