Abstract
Beginning on postnatal day 1, rat pups were handled for 7 min daily for 23-30 days. This treatment diminished the in vitro phosphorylation of phosphoprotein F-1 [mol. wt. ≈ 47 K daltons, protein B-5014,15] in the hippocampus of male rats. Other major phosphoproteins (D-1-2, mol. wt. 80-86 K daltons; E-2-3, mol. wt. 50-55 K daltons) were not influenced by handling. These findings confirm and extend the results of Holmes et al.5 who observed a decrease in ECS-induced protein kinase activity subsequent to handling.
