1. The livers of rats were perfused in situ. When the amino acid concentration in the perfusing medium was that present in rat plasma, the addition of growth hormone to the medium stimulated the incorporation of labelled amino acids into liver protein only marginally and not to a statistically significant extent. When, however, the amino acid concentration was raised to three times that present in rat plasma, growth hormone significantly and substantially stimulated amino acid incorporation into protein within 30min. of perfusion of normal rat liver. 2. A significant effect of growth hormone on labelling of normal rat-liver protein was seen with concentrations not much greater than those reported to be present in rat plasma. 3. The labelling of nucleic acids of normal and hypophysectomized rat liver by [(3)H]orotic acid was enhanced by addition of growth hormone to the perfusing medium when normal concentrations of amino acids were used. 4. At elevated concentrations of amino acids, growth hormone stimulated labelling of nucleic acids of hypophysectomized rat liver at 30 and 60min. of perfusion. Under these conditions, nucleic acids of normal rats were labelled to about the same extent in control and hormone-treated livers at 30min. and, because of a fall in the radioactivity of the control livers, there was more labelled nucleic acids in growth-hormone-treated livers at 60min. than in the control livers. 5. Growth hormone, unlike insulin, had no inhibitory effect on the release of glucose by the perfused liver. 6. It is concluded that growth hormone can stimulate the incorporation of precursor into proteins and nucleic acids of liver directly and without the mediation of other organs or of insulin.
