Nitric oxide synthase in the enteric nervous system of the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri.

چکیده
The distribution of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) was determined in the gastrointestinal tract of the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri. NOS immunoreactivity and the NADPH diaphorase histochemical reaction were co-localized in nerve cells in the myenteric ganglia. However, only about 60% of NADPH diaphorase-stained nerve cells in the vagus nerve trunks were immunoreactive for NOS. Reactive myenteric nerve cells were found throughout the gastrointestinal tract, comprising about 10-15% of all nerve cells. Reactive nerve cells and fibres appeared in the myenteric ganglia and nerve trunks. The circular muscle was innervated by reactive nerve fibres throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Some NOS-containing cell bodies were also in this layer. The submucous plexus contained reactive nerve fibres in each region of the gut; in the large intestine a few reactive nerve cell bodies were also seen in this plexus. The muscle in the mucosal folds of the large intestine was densely innervated. The observations suggest that nitric oxide is an enteric transmitter in teleost fish, as it is in mammals.

The present paper describes the purification and characterization of a major serum protein of the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) required for complement-related functions (target cell lysis and opsonization). This protein, termed C3-1, was identified as the third component (C3) of rainbow trout complement. It is homologous to component C3 of human and other mammalian complements based on its s...

Acid-base Regulation following Exhaustive Exercise: a Comparison between Freshwater- and Sea Water-adapted Rainbow Trout (salmo Gairdneri)
Blood acid-base regulation following exhaustive exercise was investigated in freshwater(FW) and seawater(SW) adapted rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) of the same genetic stock. Following exhaustive exercise at 10°C, both FW and SW trout displayed a mixed respiratory and metabolic blood acidosis. However, in FW trout the acidosis was about double that of SW trout and arterial blood pH took twice ...
