Abstract

Protein synthesis is of major importance in maintenance of cellular structure and viability. In the heart, proteins include those with structural, contractile and enzymatic function. Since changes in cardiac size, gross structure and function have long been known to occur with different stresses, the assay of protein synthesis has become of increasing importance, and the present paper will examine alterations of such synthesis in specific stresses as hemodynamic overload, anoxia and exposure to ethanol or its metabolites.
