Distribution of [3-14C] tryptophane in rat tissues was studied as affected by sodium deficiency in diet. The tissues are found to accumulate tryptophane differently. Elimination of sodium from the diet decreases the intensity of [3-14C] tryptophane delivery to animal tissues. The in vitro experiments established the dependence of the [3-14C] tryptophane incorporation into proteins on the sodium concentration in the medium. Its deficiency and redundancy lower the intensity of tryptophane incorporation into proteins.
