Abstract

The mitochondrial tRNA were prepared from liver and brain tissues of thyroxinized and control rabbits. The presence of tRNA for twenty amino acids both in liver and brain mitochondria was revealed. The quantity of radioactive amino acids bound to the mitochondrial tRNA was higher in hyperthyreosis than in control animals but considerable differences between the brain and liver tissues were observed.
