[Effect of testosterone on the rate of total protein synthesis in the reproductive tract of rabbit embryos in vitro].

The total protein synthesis rate in the reproductive tract and muscles of rabbit fetuses was evaluated at the 18th-22nd day of development by the intensity of 3H-leucine incorporation in experiments in vitro. Testosterone increased the total protein synthesis rate in the tissues of the reproductive tract at all the developmental stages under study. The highest rate of protein synthesis was recorded on the 18th day of development.
