Effects of cycloheximide on protein synthesis in human lung tumors, regenerating rat liver and hepatomas

10(-4) M cycloheximide (CHM) inhibits leucine incorporation to about the same degree in slices of human lung tumors, rat hepatomas, regenerating livers and normal tissues. At 10(-6) M, CHM has a more pronounced effect on tumor tissue and regenerating liver than on normal tissues. 10(-8) M CHM stimulates protein synthesis in normal rat liver slices.
