AN INTRACELLULAR DEFECT IN PROTEIN SYNTHESIS INDUCED BY CARBON TETRACHLORIDE

Abstract
The morphological and certain metabolic effects of carbon tetrachloride intoxication were studied in the rat with emphasis on liver alterations. Morphological changes were investigated by histological and electron microscopical means. Functional changes were investigated using histochemical and amino acid incorporation, techniques. The liver constituents were examined chemically. Plasma volume alterations were measured using dye and homologous protein dilution techniques.
