Abstract
The effect of ethanol consumption (27% of energy intake) for 21 days, on protein synthesis and degradation in subcellular fractions of rat brain was investigated using the Na 2 14CO 3 labelling procedure. Ethanol administration elicited an increase in the rate of protein synthesis in all fractions which was accompanied by an increase of similar magnitude in the rate of breakdown. These results imply that whilst ethanol increases the rate of protein turnover it is without effect on the rate of protein accretion.
