[The modulating role of essential and non-essential amino acids in organotypic tissue culture in rats of different ages].

The effect of amino acids L-lysin, L-asparagin, L-arginin, L-glutamate was investigated in organotypic tissue culture of spleen, liver and brain cortex of rats at different age. The amino acids in concentration 0.05 ng/ml are active inducing a less intensive growth zone, as compared to control, in 1-day and in older rats--an intensive growth zone, as compared to control in 21-day rats. The data obtained suggest a modulating role of amino acids in the tissues at different stages of maturation.
