[Kinetics of protein metabolism in the thoracic duct wall. II]

Endothelial, muscular cells and fibroblasts of the albino rat thoracic duct show a great similarity in localization and functioning intensity of the protein-synthesing apparatus. The main by the mass of production protein syntheses occur in cytoplasm. The nucleus is also of great importance in protein production: a relatively high level of proteinosynthesis is registered radioautographically in it.
