Résumé : A traumatic shock decreases the ribonucleic acid content of the liver in the rat, as shown by both cytochemical and quantitative methods. In homogenates of the livers from the operated animals, the ribonucleic acid content increases in the supernatant after ultracentrifugation while it decreases in the mitochondrial fraction. The desoxyribonucleic acid is not affected by the traumatic shock. © 1953 Birkhäuser Verlag.
