Protein and Ribonucleic Acid Synthesis after Exposure to Warmth

VARIOUS investigators 1,2 have demonstrated changes in metabolic and enzyme activity, and Hochachka 3 has demonstrated changes in isoenzymes in goldfish as a result of exposure to warmth. Precht discussed the possibility that the warm adjustment may be caused by changes in enzyme activity 4 . Since numerous other physiological changes also occur during this process, we decided to investigate whether or not new protein synthesis is a prerequisite for it, and to examine the nature of the regulation of protein synthesis if this is a causative factor.
