Summary

The influence of an anabolic steroid hormone preparation and of a physical exercise training program was studied on the nitrogen and protein metabolism in rats with the help of the 15N tracer technique and the emission spectrometric 15N isotope analysis. For the determination of the dynamic parameters of the protein metabolism graphic (stochastic) and computer aided compartmental methods were compared. Using as a stochastic approach the area-method the animals showed significant differences in the protein turnover parameters under the influence of hormone treatment and (or) physical stress by swimming exercise in comparison to the controls.
