Endocrinological Studies on the Euryhaline Killifish, Fundulus Heteroclitus (Linn.) **
The common killifish of the eastern United States, Fundulus heteroclitus (Linn.), is widely employed as an experimental animal by zoologists, em-bryologists, and comparative physiologists. The late Dr. Myron Gordon8' points out that it is a hardy species of convenient size, readily caught in tidal pools but not usually bred in aquaria for purposes of raising the stock. Dr. Gordon warns against ...

INTRODUCTION The euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus lives in estuaries and salt marshes on the eastern coast of North America. Killifish must dynamically regulate their ion balance because of routine fluctuations in salinity in their natural environment. This species can tolerate changes in salinity from freshwater to nearly four times seawater (Griffith, 1974), and have therefore been ...
متن کاملEstrogen receptor-related receptors in the killifish Fundulus heteroclitus: diversity, expression, and estrogen responsiveness.
The estrogen receptor-related receptors (ERRs) are a group of nuclear receptors that were originally identified on the basis of sequence similarity to the estrogen receptors. The three mammalian ERR genes have been implicated in diverse physiological processes ranging from placental development to maintenance of bone density, but the diversity, function, and regulation of ERRs in non-mammalian ...
متن کاملChanges in gene expression in gills of the euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus after abrupt salinity transfer.
Maintenance of ion balance requires that ionoregulatory epithelia modulate ion flux in response to internal or environmental osmotic challenges. We have explored the basis of this functional plasticity in the gills of the euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus. The expression patterns of several genes encoding ion transport proteins were quantified after transfer from near-isosmotic brackis...
متن کاملMRP2 and acquired tolerance to inorganic arsenic in the kidney of killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus).
We used proximal tubules isolated from the killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, to examine the effect of environmentally relevant, sublethal levels of arsenic on the function and expression of MRP2, an ABC transporter that transports xenobiotics into urine, including arsenic-glutathione conjugates. Exposure of fish to arsenic as sodium arsenite (4-14 days) increased both MRP2 expression in the api...
