چکیده

Na+/H+ exchange has been implicated in models of ion transport across the branchial epithelium of marine and freshwater fishes. In this preliminary study, we present immunohistochemical data using a polyclonal antibody raised against NHE3 which show NHE3-like immunoreactivity (IR) in the gills from a freshwater and a marine teleost species. In both species, branchial epithelial cells demonstrating NHE3-like IR were localised predominantly to the junction between the filament and the secondary lamellae. However, there was a marked difference in the morphology of the NHE3-like immunoreactive epithelial cells between the species. This morphological difference between the species suggests functional differences in the exchanger, which may be related to marine versus freshwater environments.

Expression and Localization of SLC9A2 and SLC9A3 Sodium Hydrogen Exchangers and Their Possible Role in Acid-Base Regulation in Freshwater Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) TITRE DE LA THESE / TITLE OF THESIS

Teleost fish, like other vertebrates maintain blood pH at a constant value, with the gills and kidney being major sites of regulation. This thesis examines the involvement of two members of the Na/H exchange (NHE) gene family, NHE2 and NHE3 in branchial and renal acid-base regulation in freshwater rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Using homology cloning techniques and mining of genomic databa...

Mechanisms of acid secretion in pseudobranch cells of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Cell suspensions of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss pseudobranch, prepared by Ca(2+) depletion and mechanical maceration, contained a distinct population of cells that always kept their relatively cuboidal shape and did not round up in suspension or proliferate after adhering to the surface of cell culture dishes. Phasecontrast microscopy revealed an extensive system of basal membrane invagin...

Isolation and phylogenic analysis of emerging new antibiotic resistant bacteria, Acinetobacter lwoffii, associated with mortality in farmed rainbow trout

Whereas it is well documented that the genus Acinetobacter is associated with antibiotic resistant bacteria and human clinical infections, there are very few studies to date that report it as an emerging new pathogen for fish. In the present study, Acinetobacter lwoffii was isolated from diseased rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from Iranian farms, in the Khuzestan Province by both biochemic...

Alteration in haemato-biochemical profiles of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss affected by Saprolegnia spp- A potential constraint for culture of trout in Kashmir Himalaya

Haemato-biochemical studies in rainbow trout infected with Saprolegnia were carried out under temperate climatic conditions of Kashmir valley to find out the variation in blood parameters. The trial was carried out on 405 cultured rainbow trout fish ranging in length from 47.8 to 69.8 cm and in weight from 1300 to 1920 g. The same experiment was carried out on 2,70000.00 trout fish eggs from No...
