The Effect of Prolactin on Kidney Structure of the Euryhaline Teleost Gasterosteus aculeatus during Adaptation to Fresh Water

The effect of prolactin on the number of membrane-associated particles in kidney cells of the euryhaline teleost Gasterosteus aculeatus during transfer from seawater to freshwater: a freeze-etch study.

The membranes of kidney cells of 3-spined sticklebacks were examined in freeze-etch replicas. The numbers of particles adhering to surfaces and fracture faces of the outer cell membranes and the membranes of the basal labyrinth were determined. The latter membranes probably are the main location of ion-transporting enzyme complexes. The total number of particles per cell in freshwater fish exce...
