Abstract
The half-lives of soluble protein pool and alanine aminotransferase (L-alanine: 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.2) of rat liver were determined before and after prednisolone treatment by measuring the rate of disappearance of radioactivity from the labeled proteins. The half-life value of soluble protein is 4.2-4.3 days, and that of alanine aminotransferase is 3.0-3.5 days. Glucocorticoid treatment has little or no effect on the turnover rates.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT The author wishes to thank Dr. H. L. Segal for critically reviewing the manuscript.
