Abstract
Simultaneous and equimolar injections of methionine and adenosine 5′-triphosphate significantly accelerated the rapid fall of rat serum alphafetoprotein (AFP) concentrations after birth. The results were compared with those obtained by administrations of prednisolone and adult tissue extracts. Correlations between a methionine-related metabolic event(s) and the repression of AFP synthesis were discussed.Keywords
