Popis: Plasma Free Amino Aoids in Workers Working under Different Stress Conditions: Tang-Chun Wu et al. Institute of Occupational Medicine, Tongji Medical University-Many harmful occupational factors induce the stress response and result in both the induction of heat stress proteins and the inhibition of the synthesis of other cellular proteins. Since amino acid levels are intimately linked to protein synthesis, we examined the free amino acid levels in the plasma of workers subjected to prolonged exposure to heat, carbon monoxide (CO) or both. The results showed that the levels of most amino acids tended to increase in the plasma of workers in stressful environments, and that free methionine and tryptophan increased significantly (p
