Abstract
The levels of RNA and protein and activity levels of acetylcholinesterase decreased in the brain of developing tadpoles of 13-15-day-old Bufo melanostictus on in vivo administration of progesterone (200 mug/0.1 ml refined peanut oil). These changes suggest decelaration in the activity of the protein-synthetic machinery in progesterone administered animals.
