Summary
During the postnatal growth of diaphragm in swiss albino mice, a continuous decline in glycogen content reciprocates with the increasing SDH-activity and protein accumulation. An inverse relationship between DNA-contents and the basic protein levels points towards the regulatory behaviour of the latter during protein synthesis. While the variations in the contents of DNA and RNA speak of a feedback mechanism operative between the 2 nucleic acids during the postnatal growth, the fluctuations in RNA appear to be significant in determining the amount of acidic proteins, in this muscle.
