However, 2 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (benzo[alpha]pyrene (BaP) and perylene) that are rendered mutagenic by mammalian microsomes are not activated by Ambystoma mixed-function oxidases. BaP was chosen for study because it is a well-known environmental carcinogen; perylene, an isomer of BaP, has been implicated as a etiological agent in cutaneous neoplasia in Ambystoma. These results support the observation that amphibians are quite resistant to PAH carcinogenesis and suggest that aromatic amines may be more appropriate model carcinogens.

As stated in the introduction, the purpose of this report has been to illustrate how the measurement of steady-state intracellular ionic activities, a technique that has proved to be of great importance in studying the energetics of transmembrane ionic transfer processes, can, with appropriate assumptions, be used to obtain information concerning the kinetics of these processes. Specifically, our analysis has focussed on transcellular Na+ transport in Necturus gallbladder and has shown that, given the steady-state values of Em, a1Na, and apical Na+ conductance for a particular set of conditions, it is possible to obtain estimates of net baso-lateral Na+ efflux (Na+ pump rate), net (and/or unidirectional) diffusive apical Na+ influx, and net coupled NaCl influx. It should be emphasized that the analysis outlined above is a preliminary essay in this direction. We present it here in the hope that, wit appropriate refinements, it may prove useful in unraveling the mechanisms by which drugs, hormones and other specific agents affect membrane function in epithelial and other systems.

Neotenic urodele amphibians that possess prominent external gills absorb substantial amounts of water and sodium across their integument. Ligation of the gills did not change the uptake of either water or sodium in Necturus maculosus or Ambystoma tigrinum. In anuran tadpoles and fish the gills are known to be a major site of such exchanges. The possible physiological significance of such a restricted branchial permeability in aquatic urodeles is discussed as well as the bases for these special properties. Journal Article Ball, A.

The existence of high concentrations of sulfur groups in the outer plexiform layer of the newt retina has been further demonstrated with mercury orange and a newly synthesized fluorescent thiol probe, DACM. The reason why such high concentrations of -SH groups are present within photoreceptor synaptic vesicles is unclear, however, it is possible that ZIO stains the photoreceptor neurotransmitter itself.

Instead, its oxygen affinity is greatly lowered by CO2. The present study was undertaken to determine the nature of the CO2 binding to the hemoglobin of a crocodilian species, the Caiman, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The following parameters were measured: (a) carbamino compounds of deoxy- and oxyhemoglobin, (b) the effect of CO2 (at constant pH) on the oxygen affinity of Caiman hemoglobin, (c) total CO2 concentration of hemoglobin solutions at different pH and pCO2 values, and (d) the effect of CO2 on CD spectra of Caiman aquomethemoglobin. An analysis of the results of these measurements revealed that CO2 binding in the form of carbamate was not oxygen-linked and cannot, therefore, mediate the CO2 effect on the oxygen affinity. It was found, however, that 2 mol of bicarbonate can be bound/hemoglobin tetramer and that the association constant of the bicarbonate anion greatly depends upon the state of ligation. At pH 7.02 and 25 degrees C, a numerical value of 2.0 X 10(3) M-1 was obtained for deoxyhemoglobin, while for oxyhemoglobin no significant bicarbonate binding could be observed. At more alkaline pH (pH greater than or equal to 7.5), the association constant for deoxyhemoglobin decreases. Circular dichroism of Caiman aquomethemoglobin decreased considerably in the 287-nm region upon addition of CO2 at constant pH, an effect very similar to the one caused by inositol hexaphosphate in human aquomethemoglobin.

An isolated rod was drawn into a suction electrode for recording membrane current and impaled with an intracellular electrode for recording membrane potential and passing current. A bright flash gave a rapid initial hyperpolarization that relaxed to a smaller plateau. Simultaneously the dark current of the outer segment was shut off with the time course of a rounded step function. This characteristic difference between the wave forms demonstrates that the voltage relaxation does not result from reopening of light-sensitive channels. The voltage relaxation in (2) did not require light or interruption of the dark current, as the wave form was duplicated by suddenly switching off a depolarizing current injected during steady saturating light. This is explained if the relaxation depends purely on voltage-sensitive conductances. The voltage response to a dim flash reached its peak value before the current response. The voltage wave form was predicted assuming that the recorded photo-current drove a linear high-pass filter with parameters derived from analysis of the voltage response to injection of a current step. When the intracellular voltage was changed by current injection the slope resistance of the outer segment slowly declined to a lower level, indicating that the outer segment contains a voltage-sensitive conductance. When a current step was injected in bright steady light, the current recorded from the outer segment consisted of a capacity component proportional to dV/dt and a small extracellular leakage current but no detectable ionic current. This supports other evidence indicating that light-sensitive channels comprise the main or exclusive ionic conductance of the outer segment. The behaviour in (5) is explained if the light-sensitive channels themselves are slowly opened by hyperpolarization and closed by depolarization. Analysis of the current-injection experiments suggests that most of the high-pass filtering in a rod results from the action of voltage-sensitive conductances located in the inner segment. Addition of 10 mM-CsCl to the Ringer solution abolished the relaxation in the voltage response to a bright flash but left intact the high-pass filtering of small signals. This would be explained by a selective block of one of two sets of voltage-sensitive channels in the inner segment or by a voltage- sensitive block of one kind of channel.

Addition of sodium cyanide to the mucosal or the serosal medium bathing the isolated gall-bladder of Necturus maculosus causes hyperpolarization of both apical and basolateral membrane of the epithelial cells. The effect of cyanide is practically immediate, reversible (if exposure is brief), and long-lasting (greater than 30 min). 2. The hyperpolarization is accompanied by: (a) reduction of the equivalent resistance of the cell membranes, as shown by cable analysis and input resistance measurements, and (b) increase of the potassium selectivity of both cell membranes, as evidenced by the effects of external substitutions of potassium for sodium on cell membrane potentials. We conclude that the cyanide-induced hyperpolarization is caused mainly or exclusively by an increase of the potassium permeability of the cell membranes. 3. Addition of the calcium ionophore A23187 (5 microM) to the mucosal medium in the presence of 1 mM-calcium caused similar effects to those produced by cyanide. After either cyanide or A23187, addition of the other agent did not cause further membrane potential changes. 4. Quinine (100 microM, mucosal medium) reduced the potassium permeability of the apical membrane both under control conditions and during exposure to cyanide. 5. We suggest that the cyanide-induced increase of the potassium permeability of the cell membrane is mediated by an elevation of intracellular calcium ion activity, attributable to release from mitochondrial sources.

The electrical properties and transcutaneous movements of Na, Cl, and water were compared (in vitro) in skins of larval and adult forms of Ambystoma trigrinum. Larval skin had a mean transcutaneous potential difference of 6 mV (inside positive) in adults it was 50 mV. Short- circuit current (Isc) was, respectively, about 2 microA x cm-2 and 20 microA x cm-2. Electrical resistances were similar. Passive effluxes of Na and Cl were similar in both forms but Na influx (active direction) was much greater in the adult. Diffusional permeability to water was less in the larval salamander skin. Influx of Na and Isc were increased by vasotocin in the adult but not larval skin. Water permeability was unaffected by vasotocin in either form. The properties of the premetamorphic skin are compared to those of two other urodele amphibians. Journal Article Bentley, P. J.;Baldwin., G.

The question remains whether this relationship is valid for mass. To answer this, total nucleolar mass values were obtained from nuclei of living mesothelial cells in culture possessing one to four nucleoli. The nucleolar mass was calculated using interferometry. The mean total nucleolar dry mass for cells with one, two, three, and four nucleoli was 40 x 10(-12)gm, 38.4 x 10(-12)gm, 39.1 x 10(-12)gm, and 41.4 x 10(- 12)gm, respectively. These data suggest that on the average, each cell had approximately the same total nucleolar dry mass regardless of the number of nucleoli. In an additional study, interferometry was employed to reveal changes in nucleolar mass and concentration during a seven- hour period. It was concluded that the nucleolus is a dynamic organelle, with its total mass varying in time from an average 40 x 10(- 12)gm with a mean concentration of 22.2gm/100cm3.

Fasting induces a marked increase in gastric tissue levels of this hypophysiotropic hormone, but is without effect on hypothalamic content, suggesting a physiological role for TRH in gastric function of this vertebrate.

A new species of Phyllodistomum, Braun, 1899, for which the name Phyllodistomum bavuri is proposed, was found in the urinary bladder of many of the catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822), examined. The new species resembles Phyllodistomum linguale Odhner, 1902 and Phyllodistomum vanderwaali Prudhoe & Hussey, 1977, but may be differentiated from the former species in that the ovary and the vitellaria are smooth, while those of P. linguale are irregularly lobed. The ovary of P. vanderwaali is irregularly lobed while that of P. bavuri never has more than 3 indistinct lobes. In addition, P. bavuri is much larger than P. vanderwaali. P. bavuri is readily differentiated from the other 4 African species of Phyllodistomum, namely, Phyllodistomum spatula (Odhner, 1902), Phyllodistomum spatulaeforme (Odhner, 1902), Phyllodistomum ghanense Thomas, 1958 and Phyllodistomum symmetrorchis Thomas, 1958. For comparative purposes the African species are briefly redescribed and illustrated. P. bavuri occurred throughout the year and their numbers do not appear to fluctuate seasonally in the Kruger National Park.

Several hours after amputation the density of this stump current ranges from about 10 to 100 microA/cm2 in most species, and declines with time. In most cases, the magnitude of the stump current is dependent on the concentration of Na+ in the external medium (an artificial pondwater), suggesting that the well- known Na+ -dependent transcutaneous voltage described in amphibia (particularly frogs) is the EMF for this stump current. These measurements add to those previously reported for the North American red spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), and suggest that electrical changes following amputation of urodele limbs are widespread among members of this group.

This pHi recovery, which is indicative of active (i.e., uphill) transport, is blocked by removal of Na+ from both the luminal and basolateral (i.e., bath) solutions. Re-addition of Na+ to either the lumen or the bath results in a full pHi recovery, but at a lower-than-normal rate; the maximal rate is achieved only with Na+ in both solutions. The diuretic amiloride reversibly inhibits the pHi recovery when present on either the luminal or basolateral sides, and has its maximal effect when present in both solutions. The pHi recovery is insensitive to stilbene derivatives and to Cl- removal. A transient rise of intracellular Na+ activity accompanies the pHi recovery; there is no change of intracellular Cl- activity. These data suggest that these proximal tubule cells have Na-H exchangers in both the luminal and basolateral membranes. Journal Article Boron, W. F.;Boulpaep, E. L. 1983 Intracellular pH regulation in the renal proximal tubule of the salamander. Basolateral HCO3- transport J Gen Physiol 81 1 53-94 Animal; Bicarbonates/*metabolism/pharmacology; Biological Transport; Chlorides/pharmacology; Electrophysiology; Female; Hydrogen/metabolism; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Intracellular Membranes/metabolism/*physiology; Kidney Tubules, Proximal/metabolism/*physiology; Sodium/metabolism; Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.; Urodela/*physiology We have used pH-, Na-, and Cl-sensitive microelectrodes to study basolateral HCO3- transport in isolated, perfused proximal tubules of the tiger salamander Ambystoma tigrinum. In one series of experiments, we lowered basolateral pH (pHb) from 7.5 to 6.8 by reducing [HCO3-]b from 10 to 2 mM at a constant pCO2. This reduction of pHb and [HCO3-]b causes a large (approximately 0.35), rapid fall in pHi as well as a transient depolarization of the basolateral membrane. Returning pHb and [HCO3-]b to normal has the opposite effects. Similar reductions of luminal pH (pHl) and [HCO3-]l have only minor effects. The reduction of [HCO3-]b and pHb also produces a reversible fall in aiNa. In a second series of experiments, we reduced [Na+]b at constant [HCO3-]b and pHb, and also observed a rapid fall in pHi and a transient basolateral depolarization. These changes are reversed by returning [Na+]b to normal. The effects of altering [Na+]l in the presence of HCO3-, or of altering [Na+]b in the nominal absence of HCO3-, are substantially less. Although the effects on pHi and basolateral membrane potential of altering either [HCO3-]b or [Na+]b are largely blocked by 4-acetamido-4- isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (SITS), they are not affected by removal of Cl-, nor are there accompanying changes in aiCl consistent with a tight linkage between Cl- fluxes and those of Na+ and HCO3-. The aforementioned changes are apparently mediated by a single transport system, not involving Cl-. We conclude that HCO3- transport is restricted to the basolateral membrane, and that HCO3- fluxes are linked to those of Na+. The data are compatible with an electrogenic Na/HCO3 transporter that carries Na+, HCO3-, and net negative charge in the same direction.

The effects of some amino acids and oligopeptides on the electrical properties of the brush-border membrane of the small intestine of the mudpuppy, Necturus maculosus were studied in vitro using micro- electrodes. 2. A number of amino acids (glycine, L-proline and L- leucine) and small peptides (carnosine, glycyl-L-proline, L-leucyl-L- leucine, glycylglycine and glycylglycylglycine) depolarized the brush- border membrane. This was associated with a reduction of input resistance. Tetraglycine did not appreciably reduce the membrane potential. 3. Evidence is presented that the electrical effects caused by application of the peptides are not solely due to the effects of the products of peptide hydrolysis. Furthermore there appears to be more than a single system available to the peptides. 4. Stereospecificity is found for both amino acids and peptides but appears to be more marked for the peptides. 5. Peptide-induced depolarizations are less markedly reduced in the absence of external Na+ than are the depolarizations caused by the amino acids. 6. These results are discussed with respect to the mechanism and significance of amino acid and peptide transport in the intestinal tract.

The most frequently reported causes of death were pneumonia, enteritis and pulmonary tuberculosis; the commonest reason for admission was venereal disease. Fluctuations in reported mortality and morbidity from year to year were most marked for malaria, with a formidable epidemic in 1905-1906. Typhoid fever and diphtheria were uncommon, as were diabetes and the sequelae of arteriosclerosis.
