| the reserpine effects on the gonadotrophic cells of the male common carp cyprinus carpio (osteichtyes: cyprinidae). | the secretion of gonadotropins (gth) in goldfish and carp, is stimulated by gth-releasing hormone (gnrh) and is inhibited by dopamine. studies with antidopaminergics have demonstrated to be effective in order to stimulate the spermiation and the ovulation in different species of teleosts. the reserpine, a drug that deplets the dopamine, has shown to stimulate the spermiation in the common carp. we report here, the effects of reserpine on the number and volume of gonadotrophic cells of the common ... | 2004 | 17357409 |
| regulation of action potential duration under acute heat stress by i(k,atp) and i(k1) in fish cardiac myocytes. | the mechanism underlying temperature-dependent shortening of action potential (ap) duration was examined in the fish (carassius carassius l.) heart ventricle. acute temperature change from +5 to +18 degrees c (heat stress) shortened ap duration from 2.8 +/- 0.3 to 1.3 +/- 0.1 s in intact ventricles. in 56% (18 of 32) of enzymatically isolated myocytes, heat stress also induced reversible opening of atp-sensitive k+ channels and increased their single-channel conductance from 37 +/- 12 ps at +8 d ... | 2004 | 14592934 |
| maintained cardiac pumping in anoxic crucian carp. | like most vertebrates, humans die within minutes when deprived of molecular oxygen (anoxia), in part because of cardiac failure. in contrast, some freshwater turtles can survive anoxia for months at low temperatures, but to do so, they drastically suppress cardiac activity and autonomic cardiovascular control. although carassius carassius, the crucian carp, shares this anoxia tolerance, we show that it has a unique ability among vertebrates to retain normal cardiac performance and autonomic card ... | 2004 | 15459381 |
| hypoxic survival strategies in two fishes: extreme anoxia tolerance in the north european crucian carp and natural hypoxic preconditioning in a coral-reef shark. | especially in aquatic habitats, hypoxia can be an important evolutionary driving force resulting in both convergent and divergent physiological strategies for hypoxic survival. examining adaptations to anoxic/hypoxic survival in hypoxia-tolerant animals may offer fresh ideas for the treatment of hypoxia-related diseases. here, we summarise our present knowledge of two fishes that have evolved to survive hypoxia under very different circumstances. the crucian carp (carassius carassius) is of part ... | 2004 | 15299034 |
| vertebrate brains at the pilot light. | while the brains of most vertebrates are unable to tolerate more than a few minutes of anoxia, some freshwater turtles (trachemys and chrysemys), crucian carp (carassius carassius) and frogs (rana pipens and rana temporaria) can survive anoxia for hours to months. obviously, anoxia tolerance has evolved separately several times and this is also reflected in the divergent strategies these animals utilize to survive without oxygen. the turtles and crucian carp defend their brain atp levels and avo ... | 2004 | 15288600 |
| seasonality of dihydropyridine receptor binding in the heart of an anoxia-tolerant vertebrate, the crucian carp (carassius carassius l.). | prolonged anoxia tolerance of facultative anaerobes is based on metabolic depression and thus on controlled reduction of energy-utilizing processes. one proposed survival mechanism is the closing of ion channels to decrease energetic cost of ion pumping (hochachka pw. science 231: 234-241, 1986). to test this hypothesis, the involvement of l-type ca2+ channels in seasonal anoxia tolerance of the vertebrate heart was examined by determining the number of [methyl-3h]pn200-110 (a ligand of l-type c ... | 2004 | 15242827 |
| metabolic responses to low temperature in fish muscle. | for most fish, body temperature is very close to that of the habitat. the diversity of thermal habitats exploited by fish as well as their capacity to adapt to thermal change makes them excellent organisms in which to examine the evolutionary and phenotypic responses to temperature. an extensive literature links cold temperatures with enhanced oxidative capacities in fish tissues, particularly skeletal muscle. closer examination of inter-species comparisons (i.e. the evolutionary perspective) in ... | 2004 | 15191230 |
