| determination of phagocyte activity in whole blood of carp (cyprinus carpio) by luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence. | in this study, the phagocytic capacity of fish peripheral blood leucocytes was studied using the luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence (cl) method. suspensions of rice starch (1%) or opsonized zymosan particles-ozp (0.2%) were used as activators. the level of cl was detected at 25 degrees c in various whole blood volumes (100, 50, 20 a 10 microliters) during the mixed or unmixed measurement mode. the peak of cl in all starch-activated samples was between 2.0-4.0 mv, regardless of blood volume or a ... | 1996 | 8933714 |
| vitellogenin induction and reduced serum testosterone concentrations in feral male carp (cyprinus carpio) captured near a major metropolitan sewage treatment plant. | endocrine disrupting chemicals can potentially alter the reproductive physiology of fishes. to test this hypothesis, serum was collected from common carp (cyprinus carpio) at five riverine locations in minnesota. male fish collected from an effluent channel below the st. paul metropolitan sewage treatment plant had significantly elevated serum egg protein (vitellogenin) concentrations and significantly decreased serum testosterone concentrations compared to male carp collected from the st. croix ... | 1996 | 8930552 |
| deltamethrin lethal multifactorial activity toward carp larva related to ph, calcium, and humic acid concentrations. | acute 24-hr embryotoxicity of the pyrethroid insecticide delta-methrin toward carp larvae was tested in multifactorial combinations of three phs (6.9, 7.8, 9.0), two calcium concentrations ([ca] = 2 x 10(-4) and 2 x 10(-2) m), and three humic acids concentrations ([ha] = 0, 5, and 100 mg/liter). lethal effects were determined and compared to the distribution and hexane extractibility of radiolabeled deltamethrin in the solution and on the vessel walls, either in the presence or in the absence of ... | 1996 | 8930502 |
| evidence for multiple distinct major histocompatibility complex class i lineages in teleostean fish. | in the context of studies on the expression of mhccyca-z sequences of the common carp, pcr amplifications of exon 4 were performed on cdna obtained from pooled thymi of 20 carp f1 individuals. five recombinant clones (cyca-tc3, -tc13, -tc15, -tc17 and -tc18) were found to be 96% similar to the exon 4 region of cyca-za1. each of the five sequences was unique, and differed in a few positions in both the nucleotide and the derived amino acid sequences from any of the cyca-z sequences known to date. ... | 1996 | 8909944 |
| tissue-specific changes in protein synthesis rates in vivo during anoxia in crucian carp. | mechanisms of anoxia tolerance were investigated in crucian carp. rates of protein synthesis were calculated in selected tissues of normoxic and anoxic animals. exposure to 48 h of anoxia resulted in a significant reduction in protein synthesis in the liver (> 95%), heart (53%), and red and white muscle (52 and 56%, respectively), whereas brain protein synthesis rates were unaffected. seven days of anoxia produced similar results. after 24 h of recovery from a 48-h anoxic period, protein synthes ... | 1996 | 8897979 |
| voltage dependency of light-evoked on-off transient amacrine cell responses in carp retina. | the voltage dependency of the on and the off components of transient amacrine cell responses was studied using two-electrode voltage-clamp and current-clamp techniques in the isolated retina of the carp. the two independent approaches gave similar data. when cells were voltage clamped near their resting potentials, both response components were associated with transient inward currents. hyperpolarization increased response size (current or voltage) whilst depolarization decreased it. response re ... | 1996 | 8878100 |
| spectral plasticity of h1 horizontal cells in carp retina: independent modulation by dopamine and light-adaptation. | it was shown previously that the spectral sensitivity of luminosity/h1-type horizontal cells (hcs) in carp retinae reflects the absorption spectrum of red-sensitive cones for long wavelengths but can appear highly variable and "truncated' in the short-wavelength region of the spectrum. we have found that light-adaptation sharpened the red-sensitive spectral peak and decreased the blue/red response amplitude ratio (b/r ratio), mainly by decreasing the response to short-wavelength stimuli. the ada ... | 1996 | 8921249 |
| electrophysiological responses of three chemosensory systems in the carp to pesticides. | responses of three chemical senses, olfaction, taste, and pit organ sense, to three pesticides were studied electrophysiologically in carp, cyprinus carpio. only olfaction was responsive to the three pesticides at behavioral avoidance levels, which were determined in a previous study. the olfactory thresholds for benthiocarb, isoprothiolane, and fenitrothion were 1.7 x 10(-1) micrograms/l (4 log units lower concentration than 48-h lc50), 6.7 x 10(-3) micrograms/l (6 log units lower than 48-h lc5 ... | 1996 | 8840928 |
| action of cypermethrin on tissue transamination during nitrogen metabolism in cyprinus carpio. | freshwater fish, cyprinus carpio, was exposed to sublethal concentration (3 microg liter-1) of cypermethrin for 5 and 10 days to examine the changes in the transamination process during the formation of nitrogenous end products in four functionally different tissues, namely, gill, liver, brain, and muscle. increases in total and soluble protein contents were noticed in all the tissues of exposed fish with a decrease in free amino acids and protease activity. activity levels of both the transamin ... | 1996 | 8812184 |
| the influence of water potassium concentration on 137cs excretion from fish. | results are reported of the investigation on the peculiarities of 137cs release from carp (cyprinus carpio l.) acclimatized to different potassium concentrations in water. the dynamics of radiocesium release are characterized by slow and fast components. the 137cs release rates observed in the experiments with different water potassium concentrations were not markedly different from the point of view of middle-term radioecological predictions. | 1996 | 8655326 |
| cobalt ions enhance light responsiveness of carp cone horizontal cells in low calcium. | effects of cobalt ions (co2+) on horizontal cells in low extracellular calcium were examined in isolated, superfused carp retinas. while 0.1 mmol/l co2+ completely suppressed both rod- and cone-driven horizontal cells in normal ringer's solution, it enhanced light responses of cone horizontal cells in low (0.1 mmol/l) calcium. the enhancement of the cone horizontal cell response by co2+ was not caused by changes in light responsiveness of cone photoreceptors. moreover, application of 50 mumol/l ... | 1996 | 8760455 |
| comparison of dark- and light-adapted carp retinas with nadph diaphorase staining. | the carp retina was examined by nadph diaphorase histochemistry to determine if the staining pattern of retinal cells was changed depending on the adaptation state of the retina. when dark-adapted for 5 h, ellipsoids of inner segments of both rods and cones and some horizontal cells were heavily stained. staining was also found in subpopulations of amacrine cells and ganglion cells. in addition, müller cells were strongly positive for nadph diaphorase. when light-adapted for 5 h, ellipsoids of p ... | 1996 | 8760454 |
| insulin-like growth factor iea2 is the predominantly expressed form of igf in common carp (cyprinus carpio). | an insulin-like growth factor (igf) complementary dna (cdna) was isolated from a liver cdna library of adult common carp, cyprinus carpio. the identity of this cdna clone was confirmed by nucleotide sequence determination. sequence comparison with other vertebrate and rainbow trout igfs showed that this cdna encodes a particular subtype of igf-i, igf-iea2. a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) assay showed that this igf-i is expressed mainly in the liver (hepatopancreas) of ... | 1996 | 8680527 |
| genomic structure of carp mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 gene. | carp mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (cmkk1) gene was isolated from a liver genomic library. the sequence around the exon-intron boundaries and 2 kb of the promoter region were determined. our data indicate that this gene is composed of 11 exons and 10 introns spanning about 9 kb. multiple potential transcription initiation sites were located by primer extension analysis. examination of 2 kb of 5'-flanking sequence revealed potential binding sites for a variety of transcription factors ... | 1996 | 8634328 |
| isolation of carp cdna clones, representing developmentally-regulated genes, using a subtractive-hybridization strategy. | a subtractive-hybridization technique, combined with differential screenings and subsequent whole mount in situ hybridization (ish) reactions, was used to isolate novel cdna clones representing developmentally-regulated genes of carp. small-scale differential screenings of an oocyte and a segmentation-stage cdna library using oocyte-specific and segmentation stage-specific enriched probes, yielded 75 positive clones. ish screening showed that 65% (15) of the oocyte-stage clones and 50% (26) of t ... | 1996 | 28306098 |
| [differential effects of low calcium on signal transmission from rods and cones to horizontal cells in carp retina]. | intracellular recordings were made from neurons in the superfused isolated carp retina and the effects of calcium on synaptic transmission from cones and rods to horizontal cells were studied by changing the ionic composition of the external medium. when extracellular ca2+ is lowered from 1.2 mmol/l to 0.1 mmol/l, both cone- and rod-horizontal cells (cone-hc and rod-hc) are depolarized, but light responsiveness of these cells are differentially affected: light responses of cone-hcs are reduced i ... | 1996 | 9389162 |
| expression of hoxb-1 during gastrulation and segmentation stages of carp (cyprinus carpio). | this report describes the cdna sequence and embryonic rna expression pattern of carp hoxb-1. carp hoxb-1 is a labial-like, homeobox-containing gene of the 3' end of the hox gene cluster. the expression pattern in carp is compared to that of homologs in other vertebrates. as holds for other hox genes, carp hoxb-1 is expressed with highest intensity at a sharp anterior boundary, and expression fades out towards posterior. at later stages, gaps were found in the domain. the gene is expressed from l ... | 1996 | 8793616 |
| effects of different patterns of light adaptation on cellular and synaptic plasticity in teleost retina: comparison of flickering and steady lights. | the importance of the pattern of light stimulus in inducing light-adaptive morphological (cellular and sub-cellular) changes in the outer retina of the carp was assessed. thus, the effects of steady and flickering backgrounds (of the same intensity) on cone photomechanical movements (pmms) and horizontal cell (hc) spinules were compared by quantitative measurements. for both phenomena, flickering stimuli had a significantly greater effect than steady, although the number of photons delivered by ... | 1996 | 8710195 |
| histochemistry of nadph-diaphorase--a marker for neuronal nitric oxide synthase--in the carp retina. | the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (nadph) diaphorase histochemical technique was used as a marker to assess the distribution of nitric oxide synthase activity in the carp retina. nadph-diaphorase activity was found to be present in photoreceptors (rods and cones), horizontal cells, amacrine cells, bipolar cells, müller cells and ganglion cells. staining was most prominent in the photoreceptor ellipsoids but was not confined to any particular subtype. the density of the staining wit ... | 1996 | 8813246 |

| cold-induced expression of delta 9-desaturase in carp by transcriptional and posttranslational mechanisms. | poikilothermic animals respond to chronic cold by increasing phosphoglyceride unsaturation to restore the fluidity of cold-rigidified membranes. despite the importance of this compensatory response, the enzymes involved have not been clearly identified, and the mechanisms that control their activity are unknown. in carp liver, cold induces an 8- to 10-fold increase in specific activity of the microsomal stearoyl coenzyme a desaturase. cold-induced up-regulation of gene transcription resulted in ... | 1996 | 8629000 |
| microcalorimetric study of mitochondria isolated from fish liver tissue. | we determined the thermogenesis curves of mitochondria isolated from fish liver tissue by using an lkb 2277 bioactivity monitor. after isolation from the fish liver, mitochondria still have activity and can live for a long time by using the stored nutrients. we calculated the recovery rate constants of mitochondria. we found that the thermogenesis curves of mitochondria are similar to those obtained from prokaryotic cells, but not similar to those obtained from eukaryotic cells. we determined th ... | 1996 | 8675962 |
| biochemical and histopathological effects of glyphosate on carp, cyprinus carpio l. | glyphosate, also known by the trade names roundup and rodeo for agricultural use, is a broad-spectrum, translocated herbicide, used primarily in agricultural applications, and for vegetation control in non-crop areas. it is used as non-selective herbicide and for aquatic weed control in fish-ponds, lakes, canals, slow running water, etc. (usda 1984). glyphosate is perhaps the most important herbicide ever developed. literature of toxicological and ecotoxicological properties of glyphosate is ext ... | 1996 | 8720103 |
| the innervation of the chromaffin cells in the head kidney of the carp, cyprinus carpio; regional differences of the connections between nerve endings and chromaffin cells. | nerve fibres and their connections with chromaffin cells in the carp head kidney were studied by light and electron microscopy. some nerve bundles entered the head kidney from the dorsal aspect along veins. many unmyelinated axons emerged from the nerve bundles to invade the clusters of chromaffin cells, the distribution of which was restricted to the neighbourhood of the venous trunks and their tributaries. most of the nerve endings were attached to a chromaffin cell by synaptic junctions and w ... | 1996 | 8655401 |
| central monoaminergic responses to salinity and temperature rises in common carp | juvenile common carp, cyprinus carpio, were exposed to increased levels of salinity (1 % nacl) at 25 °c and 30 °c. levels of the monoamine neurotransmitters dopamine (da) and serotonin (5-ht) and their metabolites dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were determined in different brain parts. whereas the elevated temperature only resulted in higher levels of the metabolites, increased salinity caused increased levels of da and 5-ht as well. increased levels appeared a ... | 1996 | 9319510 |
| local differences in myotendinous junctions in axial muscle fibres of carp (cyprinus carpio l.) | we studied the myotendinous junctions of anterior and posterior red and white axial muscle fibres of carp using stereology. in posterior axial muscle fibres of swimming fish, stress (load on the myotendinous junction) must be higher than in anterior fibres as posterior fibres have a longer phase of eccentric activity. as we expected the magnitude of the load on the junction to be reflected in its structure, we compared the interfacial ratio, the ratio between the area of the junctional sarcolemm ... | 1996 | 9318603 |

| further evidence on the interaction of muramyl dipeptide with the serotonergic system. | the mode of interaction between muramyl dipeptide (mdp), a compound with immunopharmacological activities, and 5-hydroxtryptamine (5-ht, serotonin) was studied in isolated nerve-smooth muscle preparations of the carp stomach. application of exogenous 5-ht evoked direct smooth muscle contractions; electric neurogenic stimulation evoked twitches due to release of 5-ht from nerve endings. contractions evoked by a high concentration of 5-ht (3-30 microm) were resistant to atropine and potentiated in ... | 1996 | 8732429 |
| characterization of class ii a and b genes in a gynogenetic carp clone. | a prerequisite for carrying out functional studies on major histocompatibility complex (mhc) molecules of fish is the availability of genetically well-defined homozygous strains. previously we have applied gynogenetic reproduction to generate isogenic carp, denoted clone a410. this clone has recently been demonstrated to express a single class i gene, cyca-ua1(*)01, and in the present study two class ii b and two class ii a transcripts were obtained. the two class ii b transcripts, cyca-d(cb3)b ... | 1996 | 8662086 |
| identification and characterization of a new major histocompatibility complex class i gene in carp (cyprinus carpio l.). | in this study we report the finding of three representatives of a new group of major histocompatibility complex class i sequences in carp: cyca-12 (cyca-ua1*01), a full-length cdna; cyca-sp1 (cyca-uaw1), a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) fragment from cdna; and cyca-g11 (cyca-ua1*02), a partial genomic clone. comparison of the amino acid sequences of cyca-12, cyca-sp1, and cyca-g11 with classical and non-classical class i sequences from other species shows considerable conservation in regions th ... | 1996 | 8613142 |
| [repression of voltage gated k+ channel expressed in xenopus oocytes after injection total rna from carp retina by an antisense oligonucleotide]. | injection of total rna from carp retina induced the formation of a membrane k+ channel in xenopus oocytes. we found an oligonucleotide complementary to the mrna coding for a peptide fragment in the k+ channel of drosophila and mice could suppress the k+ channel current in a very specific manner. this provides important information for the cloning of this gene and for studying it's function. | 1996 | 9389159 |
| deltamethrin multifactorial activity toward carp larva mobility related to calcium, humic acids, and ph. | the toxicity of pyrethroid insecticide deltamethrin was assessed by the "escaping capability" of carp larvae out of a trap. mobility was tested after 1, 4, and 12 hr exposure to eight deltamethrin concentrations in standard water and after 24 hr exposure to seven deltamethrin concentrations in 18 media derived from the combinations of ph levels of 6.9, 7.8, 9.0, calcium concentrations of 2 . 10(-4) and 2 . 10(-2) m, and humic acid concentrations on 0, 5 and 100 mg/liter. in standard water, a 1-h ... | 1996 | 9007004 |
| the use of enzyme-digested soybean residue for feeding common carp. | this experiment was an attempt to use the soybean residue derived from the production of "soy milk". the residue contains about 18% protein, 70% carbohydrates and 7.5% lipid as fish feed for rearing common carp, cyprinus carpio. there were 4 types of diets: (1) soybean residue, (2) soybean residue digested with papain, (3) soybean residue (64%) mixed with beef liver (34%) and (4) same mixture as (3) but digested with papain. the results indicate that the percentage increase in weight and length ... | 1996 | 8988811 |
