Neurochemical correlates of alloxan diabetes: protein and ribonucleic acid levels in the different regions of the rat brain

The levels of protein and ribonucleic acid in the cerebrum, cerebellum, optic lobes and medulla oblongata of normal and alloxan-diabetic rats were measured. In general, the protein content and levels of ribonucleic acid in the broad compartments of the brain of rat decreased during diabetes.
