Brain protein synthesis was studied in vivo, in brain slices, and in cell-free systems in rats aged 1, 16, and 24 months. We observed a highly significant reduction in amino acid incorporation with advancing age. This reduction was observed in vivo, in slices, in postmitochondrial supernatant, microsomes, and membrane-bound polysomes. Free heavy polysomes showed no age-dependent decline but formed a smaller proportion of total ribosomes in older animals. These studies suggest that in the rat brain protein synthesis declines before senescence, possibly due to an impairment in the initiation process.
