[Protein synthesis in the organs and tissues of frogs with local exposure to low temperatures]

Intensity of synthesis of total proteins and spectrum of synthesized proteins has been studied in various organs and tissues of sharp-faced frogs during local profound cooling of one of its limbs. It was shown that the effect of low temperatures on a certain part of a body of a poikilothermic animal has induced both a response of the whole organism and a much more acute response of the cooled tissues. The organism responded by a fall of the whole body temperature and a decrease in the activity of synthesis of total proteins of the viscera. Local cooling of a part of the frog body has induced a more significant decrease in the protein synthesis intensity in the cooled tissues alteration in the spectrum of synthesized proteins and appearance of specific proteins.
