Triiodothyronine action on RNA synthesis in rat-liver mitochondria.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that thyroidectomized rats with physiological doses of triiodothyronine (THR) showed a significant increase in incorporation of [3H]UTP into RNA by isolated rat liver mitochondria after the 4th day of treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biogenesis of mitochondria: Neuroendocrine effects on the development of respiratory functions in fat body mitochondria of the cockroach, Blaberus discoidalis

TL;DR: The fat body of Blaberus appears useful for studies on the hormonal regulation of mitochondrial development in higher eucaryotic animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of thyroid hormone on mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular hyperplasia.

TL;DR: The results of this study indicated that thyroid hormone treatment produces hyperplasia and an increase in mitochondrial number and mass in rat liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modification of nucleic acid levels per mitochondrion induced by thyroidectomy or triiodothyronine administration.

TL;DR: The T3 administration severely lowered the content of protein per mitochondrion, and this may indicate that thyroid hormones control the normal assemblage of mitochondrial protein.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of the conditions and mechanism of the diphenylamine reaction for the colorimetric estimation of deoxyribonucleic acid

TL;DR: The present study arose from the observation that a more intense colour was sometimes produced if, instead of being heated at 1000 for 10 min., the reaction mixture was allowed to stand overnight at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of nucleic acids in animal tissues

TL;DR: A modification of the Barrenscheen and Peham method for ribose determination with orcinol was worked out in order to determine pentose nucleic acid (PNA) in the same organ extracts, which permitted the evaluation of DNA in amounts as small as 2.5 y per ml.
