Nitric oxide modulation of the electrically excitable skin of Xenopus laevis frog tadpoles.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a highly diffusible signalling molecule with widespread effects on the integrative electrical properties of a variety of neuronal and muscle cells. We have explored the effects of NO on the cardiac-like impulse generated by skin cells of the hatchling Xenopus tadpole. Skin cell impulses propagate from cell to cell via gap junctions and form an unusual sensory system, which ...
متن کاملEffect of hypophysectomy on sex transformation in frog tadpoles.
This work aims to clarify whether the pars distalis of the pituitary gland plays an indispensable role in heat-induced sex transformation from ovaries to testes. Intact and hypophysectomized tadpoles of the sex semidifferentiated race of Rana catesbeiana were reared in water at 20•Ž as controls and at 30•Ž as experimentals. The results showed that ovaries of the hypophysectomized tadpoles were ...
متن کاملSelf-referent MHC type matching in frog tadpoles.
Self/non-self recognition mechanisms underlie the development, immunology and social behaviour of virtually all living organisms, from bacteria to humans. Indeed, recognition processes lie at the core of how social cooperation evolved. Much evidence suggests that the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) both facilitates nepotistic interactions and promotes inbreeding avoidance. Social discrim...
متن کاملSingle and interactive effects of malathion, overwintered green frog tadpoles, and cyanobacteria on gray treefrog tadpoles.
Amphibian population declines around the world are associated with invasive species, pesticides, pathogens, habitat destruction, or a combination of factors. Because contamination is widespread, it represents a relevant environmental stress that can affect the ability of organisms to deal with other factors present in the environment. We examined the effects of the insecticide malathion, larger...
متن کاملK Fluxes in Frog Skin
A method has been developed for measuring K influx into the epithelial cells of frog skin from the inside solution. Diffusion delay in the connective tissue has been taken into account. Ninety-four per cent of skin K was found to exchange with K(42) in the inside solution with a single time constant. K influx showed saturation with increasing K concentration, was not altered by imposing a poten...
