FLEMING, WARREN R., AND JON G. STANLEY. Effects of rapid changes in salinity on the renal function of a euryhaline teleost. Am. J. Physiol. 2og(5) : 1025-1030. Ig65.--Techniques developed to study renal function of the euryhaline teleost, Fund&s kansae, are described. Effects of a sudden transfer from fresh water to sea water on urine flow and urine and serum osmotic pressures were studied. Glomerular filtration rates (GFR) of animals adapted to fresh water and to sea water for 7 days were estimated. Urine flow was found to be a function of size and of handling, as well as of salinity. Animals held in fresh water showed an initial diuresis which reached a peak approximately 2 hr after cannulation. Urine flow thereafter was in the range of 200 ml/kg per day for fish weighing I .58 rtz 0.3 g, and the estimated GFR was 600 ml/kg per day. Animals held in sea water had urine flows ranging from 5 to 20 ml/kg per day, and filtration rates ranging from 20 to 45 ml/kg per day were estimated. The urine collected from the 2nd to approximately the 10th day after a sudden transfer into sea water was hypertonic to the serum. It is concluded that both a reduction in GFR and an increase in the tubular reabsorption of water are elements of renal function utilized when this animal moves from a hypotonic to a hypertonic environment.

In order to study the role of the kidney in fish osmoregulation, freshwater acclimatized juvenile spottedscat (Scatophagus argus L.) were subjected to four different salinities and observed for histomorphometricchanges of the kidney at 1, 2, 10 and 15 days post transfer time points. The overall morphological changesdisplayed by fish kidney included significant decrease in the density of collect...
متن کاملFXYD8, a Novel Regulator of Renal Na+/K+-ATPase in the Euryhaline Teleost, Tetraodon nigroviridis
FXYD proteins are important regulators of Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) activity in mammals. As an inhabitant of estuaries, the pufferfish (Tetraodon nigroviridis) responds to ambient salinity changes with efficient osmoregulation, including alterations in branchial, and renal NKA activities. Previous studies on teleostean FXYDs have mainly focused on the expression and potential functions of FXYD protei...
متن کاملEffects of environmental salinity on gill endothelin receptor expression in the killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus.
We recently determined that rapid changes in environmental salinity alter endothelin-1 (EDN1) mRNA levels in the euryhaline killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, so we hypothesized that EDN1 may be a local regulator of gill ion transport in teleost fishes. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of changes in environmental salinity on the gill endothelin receptors: EDNRA, EDNRB,...
متن کاملBranchial FXYD protein expression in response to salinity change and its interaction with Na+/K+-ATPase of the euryhaline teleost Tetraodon nigroviridis.
Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) is a ubiquitous membrane-bound protein crucial for teleost osmoregulation. The enzyme is composed of two essential subunits, a catalytic alpha subunit and a glycosylated beta subunit which is responsible for membrane targeting of the enzyme. In mammals, seven FXYD members have been found. FXYD proteins have been identified as the regulatory protein of NKA in mammals and elas...

Gill chloride cells and prolactin hormone are of high importance in the adaptation of euryhaline fish. Guldenstati (Chalcalburnus chalcoides, 1772), an adromous fish, migrates from the Caspian Sea to rivers to have a more successful reproduction. The present study was aimed to evaluate the changes in the number and size of C. chalcoides gill chloride cells as well as to determine the relationsh...
