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.

Comp. Neurol. 189 3 437-466 CCR, anatomy, The organization and projections of the presumed homologue of the mammalian corpus striatum, the ventrolateral area (VLA) of the telencephalon, were investigated in the reptile Caiman crocodilus. The caiman VLA was divided into two major cell fields on the basis of cytoarchitectonic criteria: a rostromedial small celled field (VLA s.c.) and a large celled field occupying the dorsal, lateral and ventrocaudal portions of the VLA (VLA l.c.). Histochemical results indicate that the VLA s.c. contains high levels of both cholinesterase and catecholamine (CA) activity. An intense lacy plexus of CA- containing axons and terminals was found in the VLA s.c. Far less CA activity was found within the VLA l.c. CA activity within the VLA appears to be derived primarily from axons of cells located within a large field of the midbrain tegmentum which is called in this report nucleus tegmenti pedunculo pontinus (TP). In the caiman the VLA also receives projections from the CA-positive cells of the locus ceruleus and from serotonin containing cells of the midline raphe system. Anatomical experiments indicate that the VLA l.c. receives projections from neurons in the VLA s.c. and projects upon these subtelencephalic cell groups: the anterior and posterior entopeduncular nuclei (ENa and ENp), the ventral lateral and ventral medial thalamic areas (Avl and Avm), the dorsal nucleus of the posterior commissure (nDCP), and TP. The VLA s.c. projects upon TP. ENa neurons project upon cells in the VLA l.c. Cells of Avl and Avm receive both paleostriatal and cerebellar projections; Avl neurons project upon portions of the rostral telencephalon external to the VLA. NDCP neurons project upon the optic tectum. The organization and projections oleostriatal complex of the pigeon (Karten and Dubbeldam, '73; Brauth, Ferguson and Kitt, '78) and to the mammalian basal ganglia. The following paleostriatal characteristics appear to be common features in these species and may represent retained characteristics derived from the common ancestor: (1) an ascending catecholaminergic system derived from neurons in the midbrain tegmentum; (2) projections from the basal striatum upon the catecholamine containing neurons of the midbrain tegmentum; (3) an intrinsic cholinergic system; (4) projections upon thalamic cell groups which are also in receipt of cerebellar projections and which project upon telencephalic regions external to the paleostriatum; (5) reciprocal connections between the paleostriatum and the ventral or subthalamus; and (6) projections upon cell groups which project to the optic tectum. The results are discussed in terms of the overall role of the basal ganglia in the neural control of behavior. Journal Article Brauth, S.

Very similar distributions of both leucine enkephalin-like and methionine enkephalin-like immunoreactivity were observed. The greatest accumulations of enkephalin-like immunoreactive material were observed within the ventrolateral area of the telencephalon, a region considered comparable to the mammalian corpus striatum and avian paleostriatal complex (i.e. basal ganglia) on the basis of embryological, anatomical and histochemical criteria. Within the ventrolateral area, many small immunoreactive neuron cell bodies were observed, particularly within the rostromedial small-celled component of the ventrolateral telencephalic area. A rich plexus of fibers displaying enkephalin-like immunoreactivity invests the entire ventrolateral area including the large-celled subdivision. A system of thick, coarse, radially-directed immunoreactive fibers running between medial and dorsal portions of the ventrolateral area and more ventral portions was observed in this study. Other structures in the caiman telencephalon, containing large numbers of neural elements displaying enkephalin-like immunoreactivity, were the ventral paleostriatum (a region considered comparable to the ventral pallidum of mammals), the lateral septal nucleus and the nucleus accumbens. The corticoid areas contained far fewer elements displaying enkephalin-like immunoreactivity, although immunoreactive fibers and cell bodies were observed within the medial, dorsal and lateral corticoid areas, particularly at caudal levels. The dorsal ventricular ridge contains the lowest number of immunoreactive cells and fibers of any structure within the caiman telencephalon although occasional neurons displaying enkephalin-like immunoreactivity were encountered in the dorsal ventricular ridge. The results are compared to the distribution of enkephalin within the cerebral hemispheres of mammals, birds and other reptiles.

The olfactory sac of adult tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum) was assessed by scanning electron microscopy and the hitherto unknown variety of the olfactory sac cells has been documented. Regional differences in respect to the composition of the apical epithelial surface border in the olfactory sac have been recorded. Transitions between the olfactory epithelium proper and epithelia with different surface structures have been described. It has been shown that both the roof and the floor of the olfactory sac are mainly covered by sensory epithelium with a surface of uniform appearance. However, the sensory area of the floor is interspaced with non-olfactory epithelial bands. Variations were also noted in regard to secretory cells, cells with conical profiles, microplicae arrangements and populations of microvilli and kinocilia. These differences have been discussed in relation to electrophysiological data which suggest a regional patterning in the response to odours. Journal Article Breitenbach, G.

Both integumental TEP and osmotic permeability are higher in laboratory- conditioned (LC, terrestrial) than in breeding-condition (BC, aquatic) newts at temperatures of 5-25 degrees. Prolactin (PRL) treatment of LC newts decreased both TEP and rate of water uptake. Arginine vasotocin (AVT) treatment resulted in a substantial increase in water uptake in LC newts, while little or no AVT response was seen in PRL-treated or BC newts. Hypophysectomy (HX) or ergocryptine treatment increased TEP in BC newts, whereas HX + PRL maintained TEP at control levels. Although ergocryptine and HX were without effect on water uptake in BC newts kept at 5 degrees for 9 days, HX + ACTH increased water uptake. HX produced a substantial fall in serum [Na+] in BC newts, while either PRL or ACTH replacement elevated serum [Na+]. Combined ACTH and PRL treatment returned serum [Na+] to control levels. These data suggest that high endogenous prolactin plays a significant role in maintaining serum [Na+] and integumental permeability and transport characteristics in breeding-condition N. viridescens. Although PRL and ACTH are both sodium retaining in the aquatic breeding stage, these two hormones promote opposite effects on the integument; PRL decreases both water uptake and integumental TEP, whereas ACTH (presumably acting through the adrenals) increases water uptake and possibly TEP.

The peptides studied included insulin, glucagon (pancreatic and enteric), somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide (avian, bovine and human), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, substance P, metenkephalin, beta- endorphin, C-terminal gastrin/CCK and gastric inhibitory polypeptide. Endocrine cells were detected using antisera to insulin, pancreatic glucagon, somatostatin and avian pancreatic polypeptide, whereas peptidergic nerves were stained with antisera to vasoactive intestinal polypeptide. All other antisera were unreactive in the alligator pancreas. The peptide-containing structures were identified ultrastructurally by both the semithin/thin and immuno-gold methods. The results showed that five of the regulatory peptides commonly detected in the mammalian pancreas were immunologically recognisable in the alligator. In addition, the ultrastructural appearance of the peptide-containing cells was clearly distinct from that reported in mammals. Journal Article Buchan, A. M.;Ingman-Baker, J.;Levy, J.;Brown, J.

Four staining methods were tested and of these the peroxidase antiperoxidase (PAP) method proved to give the best results with both the mouse and rabbit antibodies. The monoclonal antibody, when used to stain pancreatic tissue, gave negative results whereas a distinct population of gut endocrine cells was readily demonstrable, suggesting that GIP is not a constituent of the mammalian pancreas. The monoclonal antibody was found to be the most sensitive for immunocytochemistry achieving the titre of 1:10(6) in rat gut. A C-terminal specific antibody, with a high affinity and avidity to GIP, it was clearly the preferred antibody for immunocytochemical studies. Journal Article Buchan, A. M.;Lance, V.;Polak, J.

Mucosal endocrine cells reacting specifically with the antisera to neurotensin, C-terminal gastrin, somatostatin, bombesin, secretin, pancreatic glucagon and enteroglucagon were detectable, the distribution of these cells being, in general, similar to the mammalian pattern. Peripheral nerve cell bodies and nerve fibres were detected with the antisera to vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, substance P, bombesin and somatostatin again with a distribution similar to that seen in mammals. No immunoreactivity was observed with the available antisera to glicentin, motilin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, gastrin 34, cholecystokinin 9-20 and met-enkephalin.

Zool. Lond. 195 157-167 The New World coral snakes (micrurines), genera Micrurus and Micruroides, have recently been seen as derived from a lineage of South American colubrids, rather than from a common lineage with Old World elapids and sea snakes as traditionally accepted. We compared serum albumins of representative coral snakes, Old World elapids, sea snakes, and neotropical colubrids immunologically. Phylogenetic analysis of the biochemical data unambiguously allies the micrurines with the family Elapidae as it is currently understood. Using the albumin molecular clock calibration derived from other terrestrial vertebrates, we suggest a late Oligocene-early Miocene separation between the New and Old World elapid lineage. This requires a movement of elapid stocks from Asia into North America, and supporting evidence for this model is derived from several paleontological sources. We suggest that a number of extant micrurine lineages have had long independent histories.

In this study, we investigated aspects of these reactions using both spectral and enzyme techniques. In animals obtained at different points in the annual cycle, Necturus testis microsomal P-450 concentrations ranged from 0.6- 1.8 nmol/mg protein. Substrates for the three enzymes generated type I difference spectra; progesterone and 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone appeared to bind to one P-450 species while the aromatase substrates, androstenedione, 19-hydroxyandrostenedione, and testosterone, all bound to another P-450 species. Spectral binding constants (Ks) for these interactions were determined. Michaelis constants (Km) and maximum velocities were determined for progesterone 17 alpha-hydroxylation, 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone side-chain cleavage, and for the aromatization of androstenedione, 19-hydroxyandrostenedione, and testosterone. Measured either by spectral or kinetic methods, progesterone, androstenedione, and 19-hydroxyandrostenedione were high affinity substrates (Ks or Km less than 0.3 microM), while 17 alpha- hydroxyprogesterone and testosterone were low affinity substrates (Ks or Km = 0.6-4.8 microM). As evidence for the participation of cytochrome P-450 in these reactions, carbon monoxide was found to inhibit each of the enzyme activities studied. The activity of NADPH- cytochrome c reductase, a component of cytochrome P-450-dependent reactions, was also high in Necturus testis microsomes. Journal Article Cannatella, D.

The results indicated the dual presence of NT- and XP-like peptides in extracts of tissues from Xenopus laevis, Rana catesbeiana, Rana pipiens, Bufo marinus, Bufo americanus, and Necturus maculosus, which were separated during gel chromatography on Sephadex G-25 and high pressure liquid chromatography on mu-Bondapak C-18. Immunochemical studies, employing three different region-specific antisera toward NT (ox and man) and one antiserum towards XP (Xenopus laevis), indicated that the NT-like peptides shared COOH-terminal homologies with NT and differed at their NH2-termini. TWo classes of NT-like peptides could be distinguished on the basis of their distributions in tissues and their cross-reactivities with the antisera; immunoreactive NT measured using antiserum HC-8 tended to be found primarily in brain and intestine, whereas that reactive with antiserum PGL-4 was most concentrated in stomach, liver, and pancreas. Although also present in brain and intestine, immunoreactive XP was highest in stomach, pancreas, and skin. Partially purified immunoreactive NT and XP obtained from gastrointestinal tissues of Xenopus laevis and Bufo marinus were shown to increase the hematocrit and induce cyanosis in anesthesized rats. These findings indicate the presence of both NT- and XP-like peptides in neural and gastrointestinal tissues from several amphibia and suggest the possibility that XP-like peptides (apart from NT) may exist in other animals.

The effects of aspirin on epithelial cell membrane potentials of Necturus fundic mucosa were examined by in vitro experiments according to intracellular microelectrode techniques. Stable intracellular impalements were obtained with 15 to 50 M-ohm microelectrodes filled with 3M KCl. In neutral mucosal solutions (pH 7.0) aspirin (5.0 mM) resulted in a significant increase in apical cell membrane potential (Vmc) from -36.7 +/- 1.5 mV to -43.3 +/- 2.3 mV (p less than 0.001) and basolateral cell membrane potential (Vcs) from -42.7 +/- 1.8 mV to - 50.6 +/- 2.4 (p less than 0.001). This hyperpolarization of the cell was associated with an increase in transmucosal potential from -5.8 +/- 0.7 to -7.4 +/- 0.9 (p less than 0.05) and an increase in the ratio of apical to basolateral membrane resistances from 5.1 +/- 1.2 to 8.8 +/- 1.9 (p less than 0.05). These changes were consistent with an increase in potassium conductance induced by the salicylate anion. In acidic mucosal solutions (pH 4.5) aspirin caused a reduction in Vmc and Vcs. This hypopolarization of the cell membrane is consistent with acidification of the epithelial cells. These observations support the proposed mechanisms of aspirin injury: (1) back diffusion of H+ into the cells and (2) influx of the salicylate anions into the cells, which may interfere with intracellular metabolism.

C. 1984 Acute renal failure following poisonous snakebite Am J Kidney Dis 4 1 30-8 This study describes acute renal failure (ARF) following snakebite in humans and the effects of viperide venoms on the renal structure and function in subhuman primates. ARF developed in 45 of 157 patients with a history of snakebite admitted to the hospitals of the Postgraduate Medical Institute, Chandigarh, India. They were studied clinically, hematologically, and in 35 cases, for renal histopathology. All 45 were treated with antibiotics, and 8 received anti-snake venom. Ten cases had bilateral renal cortical necrosis (BRCN), eight of whom died; less severe acute tubular lesions (ATL) occurred in 23 patients, four of whom died (P less than .001). Sepsis was significantly more common with BRCN than ATL (P less than .05). No statistical difference was found between these groups in bleeding incidence, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), hemolysis, or hypotension. Monkeys given lethal doses of viperide venom developed hypotensive shock, DIC, and hemolysis, with significantly reduced serum complement, and died within 24 hours. However, no renal functional changes or lesions were found. Monkeys given sublethal doses of viperide venom showed a significant increase in serum creatinine levels after 48 hours, and renal lesions were observed in a majority of animals. In conclusion, ARF in snakebite victims appears to be multifactorial in origin. Although hypotension, hemolysis, and DIC are likely to be important pathogenetic factors, a direct cytotoxic effect of the venom on the kidney in producing ARF cannot be excluded.

The deacetylation enzyme system involved is located in the liver microsomal fraction of Amphiuma means. 2. Paracetamol was deacetylated to p-aminophenol by organ cultures of liver, kidney, pancreas and stomach epithelium from adult A. means, by liver, stomach epithelium, bladder and lung cultures from neotenic larval Ambystoma tigrinum, and by adult Triturus cristatus carnifex in vivo. 3. Liver cultures from all seven urodele amphibian species metabolized paracetamol and produced p-aminophenol, but no evidence was found of paracetamol metabolism by liver cultures from any of five anuran amphibian species. 4. The significance of p-aminophenol production from paracetamol and of this difference within the Amphibia are discussed.

Newt prolyl hydroxylase is optimally active at 30 degrees C, but loses activity rapidly at 37 degrees C. The presence of cofactors or substrate decreases enzyme heat lability. Detergents (Triton X-100 and octyl glucoside) do not aid enzyme extraction and inhibit enzyme activity. Activity solubilized during homogenization without detergent remains soluble following high speed centrifugations. Comparative studies are reported for enzyme extracted from chick embryo tissues.

Activity increased markedly during the redifferentiative stages, remained elevated during digit formation, and decreased as regeneration neared completion. The greatest activity, seen during early digit formation, represents a 20-fold increase in activity over the level seen in nonregenerating limbs. The profile of enzyme activity correlates with the rate of collagen synthesis and the soluble collagen content of the regenerating tissue. Enzyme extracted from limbs in the early stages of regeneration can be activated in vitro upon preincubation with cofactors; however, preincubation has little, if any, effect on enzyme extracted from limbs at the later digit-forming stages.

Saline extracts of whole limb, skinned limb, kidney and liver were injected intraperitoneally, followed by 5 x 0 micrograms colchicine per g body weight into newts, Notophthalmus viridescens, bearing cone stage limb regenerates on both forelimbs. Forty-eight hours post-injection, tissues were fixed and mitotic figures and pyknotic nuclei were counted in limb blastemata, liver and kidney. Animals injected with limb extracts had significantly fewer mitotic figures in their blastemata than animals injected with other extracts. Counts of mitotic figures from kidneys and livers of animals receiving homologous extract injections were significantly lower than counts of mitotic figures from kidneys and livers of animals receiving other extract injections. This indicates that the extracts were causing tissue specific mitotic inhibition. Pyknotic nuclei were not increased by extract injection, suggesting that the extracts were not cytotoxic. It is proposed that a chalone control mechanism is present in the tissues of the regenerating newt limb. Journal Article Cooper, W.

K+ and Cl--selective double-barreled microelectrodes were used to study the effect of changes in external K+ concentration on intracellular Cl- activity (aiCl) in epithelial cells of Necturus gallbladder. Decreasing the K+ concentration simultaneously in both bathing solutions produced a decrease in aiCl. Steady-state values of aiCl were related to the values of the chemical potential gradient for K+ (delta microK) across either the apical or the basolateral cell membrane. A similar dependence between aiCl and delta microK appeared when the K+ concentration was changed in the serosal solution only. This indicates that aiCl depends on delta microK across the basolateral membrane. aiCl was virtually independent of the membrane potential. This supports the idea that both the mucosal and the basolateral membranes of Necturus gallbladder cells have very low passive permeabilities to Cl-. These results indicate that the exit of Cl- from Necturus gallbladder cells is driven by delta microK across the basolateral membrane, and suggest that KCl electroneutral coupled mechanism in this membrane plays an important role in transcellular Cl- transport.

Their Ca current was studied with the 'whole-cell, gigaseal' technique (Hamill, Marty, Neher, Sakmann & Sigworth, 1981). The soluble constituents of the cytoplasm exchanged with the solution in the pipette. The external solution could be changed during continuous perfusion. Membrane voltage was controlled with a voltage clamp. After permeant ions other than Ca were replaced with impermeant ions (i.e. tetraethylammonium as a cation, and aspartate or methanesulphonate as an anion), an inward current remained. It activated at approximately - 40 mV, reached a maximum at approximately 0 mV, and decreased as the membrane was further depolarized. The size of the current increased when Ba was substituted for external Ca. The current was blocked when Ca was replaced with Co. The voltage at which the current was half- maximum shifted from approximately -22 to -31 mV during the initial 3 min of an experiment. The maximum amplitude of the current continuously declined during the entire course of an experiment. The time course for activation of the Ca current following a step of depolarization could be described by the sum of two exponentials. The time constant of the slower exponential was voltage dependent. Deactivation following repolarization could also be described by the sum of two exponentials. Both time constants for deactivation were independent of voltage (between -30 and 0 mV) and faster than the slower time constant for activation. When the internal Ca concentration was buffered by 10 mM- EGTA, the Ca current did not inactivate during several seconds of maintained depolarization. When the concentration of EGTA was reduced to 0.1 mM, the Ca current declined and the membrane conductance decreased during several seconds of maintained depolarization. This inactivation was incomplete and only occurred after a substantial quantity of Ca entered. Following repolarization the Ca conductance recovered from inactivation. In contrast, the continuous decline observed during the course of an experiment (item 3) was not reversible. The difference suggests that inactivation and the decline are distinct processes.

Standard radioimmunoassay techniques were employed to measure the intrarenal renin activity (IRA) and the plasma renin activity (PRA) of A. tigrinum kept at either 5 or 20 degrees C. Basal IRA and PRA values were not affected by the temperature at which the animals were maintained. Intraperitoneal injection of the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol, however, increased PRA only in those animals maintained at 20 degrees C. This is consistent with the hypothesis of a temperature sensitivity of the renal adrenergic system in vivo. In addition, we were able to demonstrate the existence of a contractile response of Ambystoma vascular smooth muscle to angiotensin II that was blocked by the competitive inhibitor saralasin.

The results of kinetic studies in vitro are difficult to apply to metabolic reactions in vivo. 2. In living vertebrates reaction rates are usually first-order and for a particular reaction the rate "constant", k, varies with the several thousand-fold variations in metabolic rate. 3. Therefore, in the kinetic equation (formula: see text) since K varies with metabolic rate, Vmax and/or Km will aslo vary. 4. However, reaction rates for a series of different substrates were similar in animals varying widely in metabolic rate if corrections were made for differences in blood flow. 5. The observation that metabolic rate (reaction rate) is directly dependent on blood flow (Coulson et al., 1977) allowed derivation of new kinetic constants which were valid in vivo. 6. Introduction of a flow term into the observed first-order equations yields an "affinity constant", K, or a "flow constant", KF, somewhat analogous to Km, which allows one to predict reaction rates in animals of different metabolic rates. 7. The defining equations are (formula: see text) where V = reaction velocity in mmol/hr/kg tissue, [S] = millimolar substrate concentration in the blood, k = In 2/tau (tau the half-life) and F = blood flow in 1/hr/kg tissue. 8. Thus, K = k/F = 1/KF. The KF's for the initial step in the degradation of 17 amino acids in rats, dogs, lizards, turtles and alligators were similar, demonstrating the similarity of enzyme affinities in different species.

The results were compared with those in which massive amounts of protein were fed. When single amino acids were fed, only traces of arginine, ornithine, lysine, aspartate and asparagine were absorbed intact. Glycine, alanine and serine were absorbed rapidly reaching mucosal concentrations as high as 40 mM. The others were not concentrated as highly and most were absorbed by the mucosa more slowly than the glycine group. Protein feeding did not result in high amino acid concentrations in the mucosa. Whether amino acids were ingested as protein or in the free state, glycine, alanine and glutamine increased in the mucosa, suggesting these three incorporate nitrogen released from the others. It appeared that several transport systems operate if amino acids are given singly, and that a different more efficient transport system operates during protein digestion.

After incubation, both calcium concentration and content were reduced 17-41%. Protein accounted for 33-65% of shell mass in Eumeces and Opheodrys eggshells at oviposition. Reductions in protein concentration and content from 22-86% following incubation were observed. Comparing amino acid compositions of eggshells collected following oviposition with those collected from the same clutch after hatching reveals similarities among all eggshells except those of Eumeces from Michigan which lack desmosine and isodesmosine. Concentrations of desmosines in eggshells from Missouri and Michigan Eumeces appeared to decrease following incubation by 49.7% and 12.2%, respectively. Although neither the mechanisms involved in apparent losses of calcium and protein, nor the fate of the mobilized materials are known, possible pathways for mobilization of eggshell constituents are outlined and their pertinence to the physiology of squamate eggs and the evolution of viviparity in reptiles is suggested.

Experiments are presented demonstrating that neither short-term nor longterm castration affects courtship behavior in adult male red-sided garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis). So long as males have passed through a low- temperature dormancy period (hibernation), castration either shortly after emergence in the spring, or before entering winter dormancy in the fall, does not prevent the display of intense courtship behavior on emergence. Similarly, males castrated during mating activity the previous spring prior to the annual testicular growth phase actively courted females on emergence from hibernation. Males adrenalectomized and castrated during low-temperature dormancy also courted females on emergence. Hypophysectomy during or before low-temperature dormancy did not prevent males from displaying high-intensity courtship behavior on emergence from hibernation. Treatment with sex steroid hormones, as well as hypothalamic and pituitary hormones, and a variety of neural and metabolic affectors also fails to elicit courtship behavior in noncourting males during the summer. It was concluded that causal mechanisms controlling courtship behavior in the red-sided garter snake are fundamentally different, at least at the physiological level, from those mechanisms described for many laboratory and domesticated species.

Each Mes V axon can be divided into central, peripheral, and descending branches. The central branch descends from its soma of origin in the mid-brain to the dorsal aspect of the motor nucleus of the trigeminal (Motor V) and the motor root, where it splits into peripheral and descending branches. The descending branch travels caudally from Motor V to the brainstem-spinal cord junction. The peripheral branch passes dorsal to motor V and joins the motor root of V to exit the brainstem. All three branches issue a massive collateral system that distributes terminal swelling within the nuclear boundaries of Motor V. Single Mes V axons diverge to sparsely contact a large number of motoneurons throughout the nucleus, suggesting that single motoneurons receive a convergent input from many Mes V neurons. Since Motor V contains multiple, highly overlapping motor pools, single afferents are positioned to contact different motor pools. The descending branch is situated medial and adjacent to the spinal sensory nucleus of the trigeminal (Sensory V). It issues a collateral field to the entire length of Sensory V. The terminal swellings of these collaterals form rostrocaudally aligned sheets, flattened in the horizontal plane. Single terminal sheets have a divergent projection to a large field of sensory cells and single, fusiform sensory cells are positioned to receive a convergent projection from many terminal sheets. The results provide the first detailed description of Mes V axon morphology. The overall pattern of these axons closely resembles that recently described for spinal Ia afferent fibers in cat. There is evidence in both cases for divergence of single afferent terminal fields to set of spatially overlapping motor pools and a convergence of input to single motoneurons from a large population of afferents. This anatomical pattern is consistent with the recently proposed role of sensory feedback in the activity of single motoneurons. Journal Article Dacey, D. M.;Ulinski, P.

The morphology of rotundal neurons and tectorotundal axons was studied at the light microscopic level by using anterograde and retrograde filling with the horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Injections of HRP in the dorsal ventricular ridge retrogradely fill neurons in rotundus. Rotundus is situated centrally in the caudal diencephalon medial to the cell plate of the retinorecipient geniculate complex and ventrolateral to the lentiform thalamic nucleus. The dendrites of rotundal neurons are long and radiate, but are confined within the cytoarchitectonically defined borders of the nucleus. Injections of HRP into the optic tectum anterogradely fill axons that project to rotundus bilaterally via the tectothalamic tract. Small injections show that axons arising from a single tectal locus distribute to all sectors of rotundus. Thus, this projection may not be retinotopically organized. However, single axons reconstructed through serial sections form spatially restricted, sheetlike terminal fields that pass caudorostrally through the entire extent of rotundus. Several hypotheses on the functional significance of such organized but nonretinotopic visual projections are discussed.

Examples of comparative relationships important for past, current, or future studies are discussed. Structural simplicity of the avian glomerulus may permit detailed analysis of filtration pressure profiles. Alterations in nephron function, redistribution of filtration among nephron populations, and control by antidiuretic hormone and other factors are readily demonstrable in nonmammalian vertebrates. Studies of the distal tubule-glomerular feedback mechanism may be particularly revealing in nephrons of nonmammalian vertebrates, many of which lack a macula densa. The influence of volume flow rate in collecting ducts on the concentrating mechanism can be analyzed readily in avian kidneys in which glomerular intermittency influences such flow. The structure of Henle's loops may be related to the importance of sodium, chloride, and urea in avian and mammalian concentrating mechanisms. Perfusion of isolated reptilian renal tubules to study urate transport has also raised questions about fluid absorption and may permit more detailed analysis of some other transport systems than perfusion of mammalian tubules. Simplicity of some nonmammalian systems and exaggerated functions in these systems should continue to make them useful for revealing basic principles of renal function. Edited Book Darevsky, I.

The chain initiating methonine seems to be retained. Thus, this molecule has 154 amino acid residues rather than 153 as in other tetrapod myoglobins. Maximum parsimony analysis indicated that alligator myoglobin diverges more from both bird and mammal myoglobins than these latter do from each other.

Satellite 1 occurs in the pericentromeric heterochromatin of all chromosomes and at the sphere loci of chromosomes 2 and 6. Lampbrush chromosome loops associated with the spheres contain transcripts of satellite 1, as shown by in situ hybridization. The matrix on these loops consists of multiple thin-- thick transcription units, most but not all of which have the same polarity within a given loop. By in situ hybridization with single- stranded probes we show that transcription units of opposite morphological polarity contain transcripts of opposite strands of satellite 1. Satellite 1 occurs as the spacer between clusters of histone genes. We postulate that transcription initiates at a histone gene promoter, fails to terminate at the end of the gene and continues without interruption into the adjacent satellite DNA. In this way, long transcripts are produced which contain both histone and satellite 1 sequences. A general failure of termination signals might explain the unusually long transcripts of lampbrush chromosomes.

By immunocytochemistry gastrin/CCK- like peptides were localized in specific mucosal cells of the pylorus and in the duodenum. Boiling water extracts of pyloric antrum cross reacted with four antisera specific for the C-terminal region of gastrin or CCK, but estimates of concentration varied between antisera. Antisera specific for the N-terminus of heptadecapeptide gastrin (G17), intact G17, or the amphibian CCK-like peptide caerulein did not cross react with the crocodile extracts. Gel filtration of the extracts on Sephadex G50 resolved one major peak eluting significantly before G17 or CCK8, suggesting larger molecular size, whereas ion exchange on DE52 cellulose resolved two major immunoreactive peaks, both eluting before G17, indicating that they are less acidic. The more acidic of the two peptides stimulated gastric acid secretion in the rat, but had no CCK- like actions on the rat pancreas. Thus crocodile antrum contains gastrin-like peptides, which are however clearly distinguishable from any of the known mammalian forms of gastrin and CCK.

The cytochalasin solvent, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), had no effect on migration at the low concentration present in the cytochalasin and control solutions. However, a 5% DMSO solution completely blocked mobility. Wounds on limb explants and limbs in situ responded similarly to cytochalasin treatment. Inhibition of migration by H2CB was reversible even when protein synthesis was reduced by 73%. Scanning electron microscopy of wound epithelium migrating on nucleopore filters revealed extensive lamellipodia on marginal cells and the first row of submarginal cells. Cytochalasin treatment produced plications in the upper surface and free edge of the normally smooth lamellipodia. This disturbance of the free edge revealed focal adhesions with the substratum. The fact that migration was inhibition by CD and H2CB (two cytochalasins with an affinity for contractile proteins but without some of the side effects of CB) leads us to conclude that epidermal cells utilize actin or actin-like proteins during wound closure. These results increase the likelihood that tissue cells of all types, whether in vitro or in vivo, share a common biochemical basis for cell movement. Journal Article Donaldson, D. J.;Smith, G.

In contrast to their behaviour on untreated filters, epidermal cells migrated readily and to equal degrees on human type I, newt type I, bovine type II, and bovine type IV collagen. Denaturation had no effect on the ability of collagen to support migration and all three cyanogen bromide peptides tested (alpha 1(I)CB3, 7 and 8) were able to support more migration than that seen on untreated filters. Glutaraldehyde- linked collagen gels supported migration but bovine serum albumin gels did not. These results show that there is no species or collagen-type specificity shown by newt epidermal cells as they migrate over collagen- coated substrates. They also demonstrate that the tertiary structure of the collagen molecule is unimportant in its ability to bind to newt epidermal cells, and that the alpha 1(I) chain has at least three, and probably many epidermal binding sites. Finally, they indicate that the improved migration on collagen is not a non-specific response to protein on the substrate. Journal Article Donaldson, D. J.;Mahan, J.

In contrast to uncoated glass or glass coated with nest serum, bovine serum or bovine serum albumin, glass treated with either fibronectin or fibrinogen supported considerable epidermal cell migration. When optimal amounts of each protein were used, the amount of migration on fibrinogen-coated glass did not differ from the amount on fibronectin-coated glass or from the amount on the wound bed. Migration on a fibronectin substrate, could be blocked by treating the substrate with an antiserum against fibronectin just prior to implantation. Similarly, migration on a fibrinogen substrate could be blocked by exposing it to an antiserum against fibrinogen. While we have yet to determine it fibrinogen and fibronectin are interacting directly with the cell surface, our observations suggest that these two proteins may play an important role in wound closure by providing a suitable substrate for epithelial cell migration.

Microspectrophotometry was used to study lateral diffusion of the visual pigment, porphyropsin , in the disk membrane in intact mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus) rod outer segments (ROS), isolated in frog Ringer's solution. A concentration gradient of unbleached visual pigment was produced on the disks by rapidly photobleaching 40% of the pigment in an area spanning 1/4 or 1/2 of the cell's width. The change in optical density of the cells at 580 nm was then followed with time on either the bleached or unbleached side. The temperature dependence of porphyropsin diffusion yielded a Q10 of 2.5 between 10 and 20 degrees C with an activation energy of 12 +/- 2 kcal. At completion of pigment diffusion, the center and edge of the disk had, respectively, attained only 90 and 55% of the concentration expected. Computed diffusion coefficients (5.4 X 10(-9) cm2/s) were similar at the center and periphery of the disk immediately after the flash, however, an additional slow component for diffusion was detected at the periphery. A comparison of optical density at 525 nm along the diameter of ROS before and after the flash showed a persistent (20 min) postbleach concentration gradient of unbleached porphyropsin . This suggests that 15% of the prophyropsins may be sequestered into distinct areas on a mudpuppy disk and are not free to diffuse over the whole surface. This argument is supported by the observation that mudpuppy disks are separated into petal -shaped regions by incisures, some of which penetrate nearly to the disk center. Journal Article Du Toit, D.

Tissues were collected in vivo and in vitro with and without epidermal-dermal separation by collagenase. Regardless of manner of collection and treatment, cAMP levels were always significantly higher in the migrating cells. Levels were also measured in 28-hour and 36-hour wound epithelia. There was a progressive decline in levels in wound epithelia between 8, 28, and 36 hours, suggesting that levels were in the process of returning to normal. When cells were treated with a dose of cAMP and theo-phylline previously shown to inhibit migration, levels of cAMP were much higher than any migrating epithelium. The fact that cAMP inhibits migration, yet migrating cells have higher cAMP levels, seems contradictory at first, but possible explanations are advanced to account for the apparent discrepancy.

Plasma selenium, plasma glutathione peroxidase and erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were measured in blood samples taken 10 days before and at 18, 39 and 60 days after initiating the diets. Selenium concentration and plasma GSH-Px activity remained at low levels in the group fed nutria alone, but increased significantly in the groups fed fish alone, nutria plus selenite and fish plus selenite. Plasma selenium and GSH-Px activity showed a high degree of correlation (r = 0.944). Erythrocyte GSH-Px activity was more variable than the plasma enzyme activity, but increased significantly in the groups fed nutria plus selenite and fish plus selenite by 39 days. In the groups fed fish alone enzyme activity was significantly higher than the group fed nutria alone only at 60 days.

The initial, osmotically induced shrinkage was followed by a rapid increase in cell volume back to the control value despite continuing hypertonicity of the mucosal perfusate. This volume regulatory increase occurred by osmotic water flow accompanying the transient cellular uptake of NaCl from the mucosal bathing solution. Volume regulatory increase required Na+ and Cl- in the mucosal bath; it was inhibited by amiloride or 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid but not by bumetanide or ouabain. The K1/2 for Na+ was 2.8 mM, the K1/2 for Cl- was 1.9 mM, and maximum velocity of fluid flow into the cell for both ions was greater than 10 x 10(-6) cm/s. Both volume regulatory increase and transepithelial fluid absorption involve NaCl flux across the apical membrane into the cells, but the nature of the NaCl fluxes differ in the two processes. During volume regulatory increase NaCl enters the cells by parallel Na+-H+ and Cl(-)-HCO-3 exchanges, whereas during transepithelial fluid absorption NaCl enters the cell by the coupled flux of NaCl. Journal Article Ericson, A. C.;Spring, K. R. 1982 Coupled NaCl entry into Necturus gallbladder epithelial cells Am J Physiol 243 3 C140-5 Animal; Bicarbonates/metabolism; Epithelium/metabolism; Gallbladder/*metabolism; Necturus/*metabolism; Necturus maculosus/*metabolism; Osmolar Concentration; Ouabain/pharmacology; Sodium Chloride/*metabolism NaCl entry into Necturus maculosus gallbladder epithelial cells was studied by determination of the rate of fluid movement into the cell when the Na+-K+-ATPase was inhibited by 10(-4) M ouabain in the serosal bathing solution. The cell swelling was due to continuing entrance of NaCl into the cell across the apical membrane, which increased the solute content of the cell; the resultant rise in cell osmolality induced water flow and cell swelling. The rate of swelling was 4.3% of the cell volume per minute, equivalent to a volume flow across the apical membrane of 1.44 x 10(-6) cm/s, similar in magnitude to the normal rate of fluid absorption by the gallbladder. We determined the mechanism of NaCl entry by varying the ionic composition of the mucosal bath; when most of the mucosal Na+ or Cl- was replaced, cell volume did not increase during pump inhibition. The rate of NaCl entry was a saturable function of Na+ or Cl- in the mucosal bathing solution with K1/2 values of 26.6 mM for Na+ and 19.5 mM for Cl-. The mode of NaCl entry was probably not the parallel operation of Na+-H+ and Cl(-)-HCO-3 exchangers because of the lack of effect of bicarbonate removal or of the inhibitors amiloride and 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'- disulfonic acid. NaCl entry was reversibly inhibited by bumetanide in the mucosal bathing solution. Transepithelial NaCl and water absorption is the result of the coupled, carrier-mediated movement of NaCl into the cell across the apical membrane and the active extrusion of Na+ by the Na+-K+-ATPase in the basolateral membrane.

This unique combination makes an extremely useful animal for experimental investigations of craniofacial development. Thus, it is possible to make a longitudinal study of the development of the alligator's secondary palate by utilizing shell-less culture techniques. Incubation of eggs at 28 degrees C, as opposed to 3 degrees C, slows development sufficiently to enable both the recovery of critical intermediate stages, and also great precision in the timing of teratogen administration. Injection of either 0.01 mg of 5-fluoro-2-desoxyuridine or 0.05 mg of hydrocortisone into the yolks of Days 12, 14, and 17 embryos produces cleft lip, cleft lip and palate, and cleft palate, respectively. Application of the teratogen at critical developmental stages on Day 12 reliably induces unilateral cleft lip on either the right or left sides, while injection on Day 10 yields embryos with normal lips and palates but virtually no lower jaw. The spontaneous malformation rate is very low, but highest in eggs laid by young and old animals. Changes in eggshell banding provide a noninvasive method for monitoring embryonic development. Detailed comparisons of palatal development in birds and alligators permit an accurate phylogenetic study of physiological clefting in the aves. The alligator dentition is readily amenable to experimental studies. Journal Article Ferguson, M. W. 1981 Developmental mechanisms in normal and abnormal palate formation with particular reference to the aetiology, pathogenesis and prevention of cleft palate Br J Orthod 8 3 115-37 Alligators and Crocodiles; Animal; Cleft Palate/chemically induced/embryology/*etiology/pathology/prevention & control; Comparative Study; Disease Models, Animal; Female; Floxuridine/adverse effects; Microscopy, Electron, Scanning; Palate/*embryology; Pregnancy; Rats; Support, Non-U.S. Gov't Palatal development was studied macroscopically, microscopically and ultrastructurally in foetuses of inbred Wistar rats and Alligator mississippiensis. In the rat, elevation of the palatal shelves from a vertical position lateral to the tongue to a horizontal position above the tongue, occurs very rapidly. This reorientation is postulated to be caused by an intrinsic turgor shelf force generated by the hydration of mesenchymal mucopolysaccharides (predominantly hyaluronic acid). Cleft palate was induced in rat foetuses using 5-fluoro-2-desoxyuridine and was associated with greatly decreased mucopolysaccharide synthesis. The alligator is the only animal which develops in an external egg and which possesses a true mammal-like secondary palate: it is therefore a useful animal model system because longitudinal studies and direct surgical and pharmacological manipulations can be performed. The palatal shelves of alligators grow horizontally above the dorsum of the tongue from their first appearance. This de novo horizontal shelf growth is associated with an increase amount of space in the alligator oronasal cavity due to the small, fatty, alligator tongue. It is postulated that the evolution of the large muscular mammalian tongue constrains the palatal shelves to grow vertically until sufficient space can be created to form the common nasal passage simultaneous with shelf elevation.

Palatal shelves from embryonic alligators, chicks, and mice were explanted at various stages of development and organ cultured in either chemically defined, serumless media or the same media supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. Shelves from each vertebrate were either cultured singly or in contact, and heterologous combinations of palatal shelves from different animals were made: chick/mouse, chick/alligator, and mouse/alligator. Epithelial differentiation (particularly that of the medial shelf edge) was assayed by vital staining, histology, and scanning electron microscopy. In vitro medial edge epithelial differentiation, and consequently the mechanisms of palatal closure, were identical to those normally seen in vivo for each species, i.e., cobble-stoned migrating epithelia in the alligator, cell death and fusion in the mouse, and keratinisation and cleft palate in the chick. Differentiation was optimal in the chemically defined, serumless media and was independent of shelf contact in all three species. No heterologous combinations of palatal shelves closed with each other: Evidently, the modes of palatal closure in mice and alligators are sufficiently different to prevent them forming a chimeric palate, whilst neither is capable of inducing closure in a cocultured chick palatal shelf. These unified defined culture conditions make possible a large number of epithelial-mesenchymal recombination studies as well as specific inhibitor, teratogenic, and hormonal investigations.

We determined the intracellular activities of Na, K and Cl when the mucosal bathing solution osmolality was increased 18% by the addition of mannitol. The gallbladder was mounted in a rapid flow chamber and punctured simultaneously with two single-barrelled microelectrodes. One electrode sensed membrane potential and the other was sensitive to the activity of Na, K or Cl. Cell volume measurements, made in previous studies utilizing quantitative light microscopy, indicated that hypertonicity of the mucosal bath first caused a cell shrinkage of 15% followed by volume readjustment. Some loss of Na, K and Cl was observed during shrinkage; subsequently during volume regulation, the intracellular quantities of all three ions increased. The loss of Na during the initial cell shrinkage could be blocked by ouabain and was therefore due to increased transport. K and Cl losses were probably related to the increase in their concentrations during shrinkage. The gain of Na, K and Cl during volume regulation was similar in magnitude to the loss of these solutes during cell shrinkage. The increase of Na, K and Cl during volume regulation accounted for about 60% of the increase of cell solutes during this period indicating that other solutes also contributed to the volume regulation response.

In the integument of the red-spotted newt there occasionally appear patches of skin which are at the same time melanistic and iridescent. Such hyperpigmented patches have been found on the back, on the tail and on the dorsal surface of both fore and hind limbs. Cytological examination of several such areas revealed the presence of large numbers of chromatophores distributed throughout the dermis. The majority of the chromatophores consisted of atypically large and dendritic melanophores, which contained typical pigment granules. The iridescence resulted from a high incidence of iridophores. Xanthophores also were found in considerable abundance. This extensive and apparently random intermingling of melanophores, iridophores and xanthophores in limited areas constitutes a striking exception to the usual distributional patterns of pigment cells in this animal.

A horseradish peroxidase study Neurosci Lett 46 2 131-6 The cells of origin of the centrifugal innervation to the inner ear were investigated in the amphibian order gymnophiona. After applying HRP to the VIIIth nerve inside the otic capsul a Golgi-like labeling was obtained only in a small number of cells in the ipsilateral rhombencephalic basal plate and in the VIIIth nerve afferents. The axons of these cells course after entrance to the raphe and then turn back to the efferent cells in the reticular formation. With respect to the exclusively ipsilateral distribution, the efferent cells of gymnophions resemble those of anurans. With respect to the axon course they resemble those of urodeles, and may thus be regarded as intermediate between the two orders of amphibians. The phylogenetic significance of these findings is discussed. Journal Article Fritzsch, B.;Nikundiwe, A.

In situ hybridization experiments on mitotic and lampbrush chromosomes show that histone genes and an associated 222 bp repeated sequence, satellite 1, are located at or near the sphere loci of chromosomes 2 and 6 of the newt Notophthalmus viridescens. During the lampbrush chromosome stage, transcripts of the histone genes and of satellite 1 occur on loops associated with the spheres. Histones genes are located at sites on the mitotic chromosomes of Triturus cristatus and T. alpestris which are consistent with the known positions of spheres on their lampbrush chromosomes.

This must also have been true for past primate communities. In the Fayum Oligocene of Egypt, specimens of all four species of Upper Fossil Wood Zone primates show evidence of tooth puncture marks. Of the four potential groups of primate predators--the snakes, the raptors, the crocodiles, and the primitive carnivores or creodonts--only the crocodiles and the creodonts could have made these puncture marks. When one compares the feeding habits of living crocodiles and mammalian carnivores with the evidence from the Fayum, it appears that the Fayum primates were preyed upon and/or scavenged by mammalian carnivore-like animals. The dismemberment of the Fayum primates by Oligocene predators indicates, in part, why the Fayum fossil material is rarely articulated. Bone damage by predators may well set limits on what bone associations can be discovered in the Fayum even before the bones are scattered and buried by depositional processes.

A cytochemical study Cell Tissue Res 238 2 413-6 The ultrastructure of hepatic peroxisomes was investigated in Ichthyophis glutinosus (Amphibia: Gymnophiona), employing perfusion fixation and the diaminobenzidine (DAB) technique for the visualization of catalase. The majority of peroxisomes is circular or rod-shaped, although elongated particles occasionally occur. They contain a finely granular matrix, lightly stained after the DAB procedure. Their mean diameter is approximately 0.25 micron. Serial sections reveal that the circular and rod-shaped peroxisomal profiles are cross and oblique sections of highly tortuous, tubular organelles exceeding 2 micron in length. In addition to tubular profiles, elongated, rectangular particles, as well as straight dumbbell-shaped organelles with distinct marginal plates are observed. They range from 900 to 1650 nm in length (mean = 1200 nm). In the flattened, thin central portion of the dumbbell-shaped particle, the peroxisomal membranes form a cisterna enclosing one or two uniformly thick marginal plates, which display a definite substructure with a periodicity of 10 nm. These findings indicate that peroxisomes in the liver of Ichthyophis exhibit a complex organization. It is suggested that the organelles undergo a specific differentiation process, morphologically characterized by the formation of enlarged segments of unusual shape. Journal Article Gorman, G.

At all body temperatures, vagotomy resulted in a four- to sevenfold increase in tidal volume in snakes breathing room air. At the same time, ventilatory frequency decreased such that pulmonary ventilation was unchanged after vagotomy. Heart rate increased approximately 1.5 times after vagotomy, but O2 uptake was unchanged. The air convection requirement decreased similarly with increasing body temperature in both intact and vagotomized snakes. Arterial pH values were similar to those of intact snakes measured in a previous study and decreased by -0.013 U/degrees C. Since this occurs despite elimination of peripheral chemoreceptor input, it is suggested that the temperature compensation is a centrally controlled process. In intact snakes, breathing CO2 resulted in a fourfold increase in ventilation. Elimination of peripheral receptor input by vagotomy resulted in a loss of this ventilatory response to CO2 breathing. This means that peripheral receptors are required for a response to changes in arterial CO2 partial pressure and pH. Snakes thus differ from turtles and mammals in that central chemoreceptors alone are unable to produce the ventilatory response to inspired CO2. Journal Article Gravelle, K.;Simon, C.
