Effects of hypophysectomy, growth hormone, and thyroxine on protein turnover in heart

A. C. Hjalmarson, D. E. Rannels, R. Kao and H. E. Morgan

Cardiac atrophy following hypophysectomy was accompanied by decreased heart content of RNA and polysomes and increased levels of ribosomal subunits, suggesting that protein synthesis was restricted by a reduced supply of ribosomes and an imbalance between rates of peptide-chain initiation and elongation. During perfusion in vitro, provision of palmitate restored the normal balance between rates of initiation and elongation but protein synthesis was lower in hearts of hypophysectomized than normal rats, reflecting the lower RNA content of hearts from hormone-deficient animals. After the period of atrophy had passed, or after treatment with growth hormone and thyroxine, heart RNA content and rates of protein synthesis were equal to or greater than those found in normal hearts. When plasma levels of amino acids, glucose, fatty acids, and insulin, and rates of beating and ventricular pressure development observed in normal and hypophysectomized rats were simulated during in vitro perfusion, hearts from hormone-deficient rats had reduced rates of protein synthesis but unaltered rates of degradation. Cathepsin D activity in heart homogenates (+ Triton X-100) was elevated during cardiac atrophy when expressed per g of tissue but not when expressed per heart.
