the perfused hemicorpus provided the following advantages for study of protein synthesis in skeletal muscle : ( a ) hormones and substrates reached the muscle cells through an intact capillary bed , and ( b ) the preparation included the psoas muscle , which was sufficiently large to allow measurements of intermediates in the pathway of protein synthesis and was readily homogenized for preparation of ribosomes and ribosomal subunits .
