The mol percentage of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is 2.2 times greater in the adult than in 2-day-old rat brain DNA. The concentration of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine falls in corresponding liver DNA preparations. This normal increase in brain 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is abolished in rats placed on an 8%-protein diet 5 days after birth.
在成年大鼠大脑DNA中,5-羟甲基胞嘧啶的摩尔百分比比2日龄大鼠大脑DNA中的高2.2倍。在相应的肝脏DNA制剂中,5-羟甲基胞嘧啶的浓度下降。出生后5天给予8%蛋白质饮食的大鼠,大脑中5-羟甲基胞嘧啶的这种正常增加被消除。
