Effects of Ammonia Loading on Porcellio Scaber: Glutamine and Glutamate Synthesis, Ammonia Excretion and Toxicity
The effects of ammonia loading in the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber were studied by exposing animals to atmospheres of high PNH3. Isopods show a remarkable tolerance of elevated ambient PNH3, with an LD50 of 89 Pa for a 7-day exposure. However, haemolymph total ammonia concentrations generally remained below 5 mmol l-1 (PNH3=0.37 Pa) over the range of ambient ammonia levels used (6.6­...

(the concentration used for radioautography), the uptake was mainly into the inner retina. However, as the exogenous taurine concentration was decreased to > 1 p~ the percentage of label accumulated by the photoreceptor layer increased with respect to the total uptake (Table 1). Further studies were carried out with the use of lOmin incubations and exposing the retinas to exogenous taurine conc...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Ru/Al2O3 Nanocatalyst for Ammonia Synthesis
Ru/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by conventional incipient wetness impregnation as well as colloid deposition of RuCl3 precursor via in situ reduction with ethylene glycol (polyol) method on alumina support. The samples were characterized by TEM, XRD and TPR techniques. The catalytic performance tests were carried out in a fixed-bed micro-reactor under diffe...
متن کاملHepatic encephalopathy, ammonia, glutamate, glutamine and oxidative stress.
This review addresses recent and not so recent works that emphasize on the mechanisms by which liver damage can induce encephalopathy. Hepatic encephalopathy constitutes an intriguing complication in severe liver acute and chronic disease, whose pathophysiology is still not completely understood. In this pathology, alterations in normal brain function are associated with morphological and funct...
متن کاملBranchial Sodium Exchange and Ammonia Excretion in the Goldfish Carassius Auratus. Effects of Ammonia-loading and Temperature Changes
Krogh (1939) first suggested that in freshwater animals branchial or cutaneous excretion of ammonia may be related to sodium absorption. In both freshwater Crustacea (Astacus pallipes) and teleosts (Carassius auratus) independent active transport of Na and Cl~ from the outside medium have been definitely established (Shaw, 1960 a—c; Garcia Romeu & Maetz, 1964). Sodium in particular may be absor...
