[Muscle glycoproteins (soluble in perchloric acid) after denervation and drug stimulation]

Muscle proteins soluble in perchloric acid contain about 75% of carbohydrates presented by neutral hexoses, fucose and hexuronic acids. Three days and two weeks after denervation the content of the glycoproteids protein part is unchanged, a month later it increases by 116%. The content of carbohydrate component following denervation lowers considerably and a month later is on the average 40% higher than in the muscle of healthy rats. Administration of muscular RNA restores the content of the protein component only by the end of a month; administration of pyrogenal normalizes the content of both protein and carbohydrate components.
