Effect of acute hypertonic stress on ³⁵S-methionine incorporation into total protein.

<p>Worms were transferred to 200 mM NaCl agar plates at time 0 and ³⁵S-methionine incorporation into total protein was quantified 20 min and 1, 12 and 48 h after transfer. Values are expressed relative to unstressed control worms (i.e., time 0). (<i>n</i> = 3). *P<0.05 compared to control worms.
