  • Title: EFFECT OF PROLACTIN ON THE TADPOLE TAIL FIN. IV. EFFECT OF PROLACTIN ON THE METABOLIC FATE OF HYALURONIC ACID, COLLAGEN AND RNA WITH A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO CATABOLIC PROCESS.

    Abstract:
    In the case of hyaluronic acid and collagen, treatment of tadpoles with bovine prolactin produced remarkable increase in the content of the two metabolites in the tail fin in accord with the stimulatory effect of the hormone on the incorporation of labeled precursors into hyaluronic acid and collagen. RNA content of the tissue was increased appreciably by the prolactin treatment, whereas the hormone had no effect on the incorporation of 14 C-uridine into RNA. Prolactin had inhibitory effect on the activities of hyaluronidase and RNase of the tail fin. The experiments on the protein catabolism also revealed that prolactin inhibited the process of protein turn-over in the tissue.
