Abstract:
:Hepatic growth and protein synthesis in vivo was studied with age in ad libitum-fed and dietary restricted rats in which the mean and maximum lifespan was significantly extended. Livers from underfed rats showed significantly lower DNA, RNA and protein contents, and total protein synthesis. The fractional rate of synthesis although initially depressed by restricted feeding, showed no consistent trend with age when compared with control values. The lower fractional rate of synthesis observed in livers from dietary restricted rats at 7 weeks of age is attributable to a significant decrease in ribosomal capacity, with no effect on ribosomal activity being evident. Liver tissue from rats fed ad libitum demonstrated a progressive loss of translational efficiency with age which was delayed by chronic dietary restriction.
