| [development of the thalamus in anurans during metamorphosis (author's transl)]. | a developmental study of the anuran diencephalon from stage 30 to 2 months after metamorphosis has been done. at stage 30 in discoglossus pictus, the diencephalic wall is divided into a superior area and an inferior area, where two kinds of cellular migrations are described. comparison with the urodele diencephalon suggests that the building of a new area (area dorsolateralis) in anurans, by means of an 'external migration', characterizes a level of organization which is related to the optic sys ... | 1975 | 1176849 |
| [in the near future will women be able to choose the sex of their children by following a diet?]. | the evidence for the author's hypothesis, that the sex ratio may be altered by the ionic environment during fertilization is presented. in the 1930's, it was discovered that the proportion of males increased as the ratio of potassium to calcium + magnesium ions increased for several marine species: an invertebrate bonellia viridis, aquarium fish aphyosemion microphtalmum, amphibian discoglossus pictus, dinophilus apatris, and some eels. these sex ratios cannot be affected by manipulating the ... | 1975 | 1136075 |
| aluminium localization in amphibian skin with the electron microprobe and ion microanalyzer. | emp and ima studies show the presence of a1 in the epidermis of larvae and young adults of discoglossus pictus and rana esculenta, which disappears during later stages of development. a1 is practically absent in the epidermis of xenopus laevis and pleurodeles waltlii. the localization of a1 with emp and ima supports the biochemical results. the function of a1 in the epidermis is not known at present. | 1976 | 1083571 |
| [differentiation in vitro of the nasolacrymal canal of discoglossus pictus otth (anuran amphibian)]. | the nasolacrymal duct of discoglossus pictus is able to differentiate in vitro from prometamorphosis, without thyroxine added to the culture medium if it is taken off late or with thyroxine added to the culture medium if it is taken off earlier (presumptive anlage). | 1976 | 816524 |

| eye lens development and gamma crystallins in discoglossus pictus (anura). | the ontogeny and localization of the gamma crystallins in discoglossus pictus lens development has been determined. using antibody specific for amphibian gamma crystallins in the immunofluorescence technique, it was found that gamma crystallins first appear in primary lens fibre cells in the lens rudiment, and continue to be restricted to the fibre area as lens development progresses. thus the role of gamma crystallins as indicators of a differentiated state remains constant in amphibian evoluti ... | 1977 | 330207 |
| effect of cutaneous stimulation on the development of misdirected wiping reflexes in skin-grafted discoglossus pictus. | the frog, discoglossus pictus, has been studied with respect to wiping reflex behavior developing after skin rotations performed at larval stages. misdirected wiping reflexes were obtained only from belly skin-grafts placed on the animals' back; back skin-grafts on the belly failed to elicit any misdirected limb movements in this species. we found that misdirected reflexes occurred more readily in 3-week and older animals if not subjected to any previous test experience, than in younger naive fr ... | 1977 | 326603 |

| [electrophoretic pattern and activity of lactate dehydrogenase in discoglossus pictus (otth) and rana ridibunda (pallas) skeletal muscle and heart (author's transl)]. | the electrophoretic isozyme patterns, total and specific activity of lactate dehydrogenase on skeletal and cardiac muscles in discoglossus pictus and rana ridibunda have been studied. the isozymes were separated out in polyacrylamide gels. the ldh activity bands were developed selectively. the percentage of the h subunits are significantly higher in discoglossus than in rana, probably becuase rana is subjected to more severe anaerobic conditions during the hibernation time. | 1978 | 741060 |
| topography of cutaneous mechanoreceptive neurones in dorsal root ganglia of skin-grafted frogs. | 1. topographical distribution patterns of dorsal root ganglion (d.r.g.) cutaneous neurones providing innervation to various body surfaces were examined in doublypithed discoglossus pictus frogs.2. using electrophysiological methods, sensory neurones innervating back skin were observed to predominate on the dorsal ganglionic surfaces, while belly skin neurones were most prevalent in the caudal half of the d.r.g. ventral surfaces. flank neurones clustered in the medial half of d.r.g. ventral surfa ... | 1978 | 366106 |
| comparative metabolism of histamine in two amphibia anura. | the metabolism of histamine has been compared in rana ridibunda and discoglossus pictus, both amphibia anura. an intralymphatic injection of 14c-histamine (5 microci) was administered to the animals and the total radioactivity excreted in the urine was measured 24, 48, and 72 hours later. the metabolites excreted in the urine at 24 hours were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography and subsequent autoradiography. in both species approximately 60--70% of the injected dose was found in the urine by ... | 1979 | 517328 |

| origin and cytochemisty of the animal dimple granules in discoglossus pictus (anura) eggs. | at the centre of the animal hemisphere of the 1000 micron ovarian oocytes of discoglossus pictus there is the germinative area, a slightly depressed disc, 700 micron wide. during the passage of the oocyte through the oviduct this area becomes invaginated to form the 'animal dimple', which is the only site where successful sperm entrance can occur. granules (g) with a central electron-dense core and a peripheral portion containing sparse fibrous material are found in the peripheral cytoplasm of t ... | 1980 | 7400744 |
| comparative acid phosphatase distribution in the suprarenal gland of discoglossus pictus, xenopus laevis and bufo bufo (anurans, amphibia). | acid phosphatase activity was found to have a similar distribution in the suprarenal glands of discoglossus pictus, xenopus laevis and bufo bufo (anurans, amphibia) as determined by light and electron histochemical localization. the enzymatic activity is localized in the lysosomes of both the interrenal cells and the chromaffin cells. it is, moreover, positive on the granule membranes of the adrenaline cells whereas it appears only occasionally on the granule membranes of the noradrenaline cells ... | 1981 | 6802124 |
| peripheral reinnervation patterns and dorsal root ganglion topography in skin-grafted frogs: a behavioral and histological examination. | cutaneous respective fields for the first ventrolateral (vl1) and dorsomedial nerve trunks were mapped out behaviourally in normal and in skin-grafted discoglossus pictus frogs. ventrally directed wiping responses were obtained from stimulation of dorsally located belly skin grafts in all experimental animals. these misdirected responses were abolished completely by cutting either the dorsomedial nerve trunk or both the dorsomedial and the vl1 nerve trunks. the topography of cutaneous neurons of ... | 1981 | 7014177 |
| adrenaline-, noradrenaline- and small granule- containing cells in the adrenal gland of discoglossus pictus (amphibia, anura). | in the adrenal gland of discoglossus pictus, various types of chromaffin cells are described: noradrenaline cells, adrenaline cells and small granule-containing cells (on the basis of electron density and shape of the granules). the chromaffin cells occur in small groups, and have cytoplasmic processes which may surround them in the form of parallel layers. their nerve supply is sparse. the possible function of sgc-cells, in relation to those described in other vertebrates, is discussed. | 1982 | 7130056 |
| regional differences in the pattern of vitellogenesis in the painted frog discoglossus pictus. | during oocyte growth in the frog discoglossus pictus two patterns of vitellogenesis are described. the first one consists of the transformation of multivesicular bodies into yolk platelets; the second is the result of a typical endocytotic process, as described in other species. the peculiarity in discoglossus vitellogenesis consists of a regional difference of these features of vitellogenesis in vitellogenic oocytes: the multivesicular bodies transforming into yolk platelets are found only in t ... | 1982 | 7170708 |

| a histological and dynamic study of the gastric region of discoglossus pictus larvae, cultured with or without thyroxine. | the organotypic culture of the gastric region is carried out on premetamorphic discoglossus pictus larvae. adding thyroxine to the culture medium provokes various transformations. on the cytological level, the reactions observed, which are variable depending on the cell category concerned, can be divided into two types of phenomena: histolytic and histogenetic. autophagia linked to lysosome intervention is frequently found among the histolytic processes. autophagic vacuoles and residual bodies a ... | 1983 | 6842159 |
| physiological and biochemical properties and population studies in the m lactate dehydrogenase polymorphism of discoglossus pictus (amphibia, anura). | 1. m ldh polymorphism has been previously described in discoglossus pictus. 2. gene frequency at the ldm locus varied significantly in two isolated areas which differed markedly in water oxygen tension. 3. sex distribution, relative activity of the ldh isozymes, percentage of total h and m subunits and enzyme kinetics did not differ among the distinct ldh phenotypes. 4. under decreasing oxygen conditions, mean time to death, lt50 and oxygen consumption were similar in tadpoles of the three ldh p ... | 1983 | 6839720 |
| [experimental anatomic study of the topography of the retinofugal projections in discoglossus pictus (amphibia, anura). ii. the tectum: existence of a double-system of primary optic projections]. | the possibility of retinotopic organization of bilateral retinotectal projection was studied by fotal retinal lesions followed by the fink-heimer technique. this work in discoglossus pictus (amphibia, anura) shows two types of direct visual projections: a contralateral projection within the tectal layer 9 and a bilateral projection on tectal layer f of potter (1969). the ipsilateral projection within tectal layer 9, earlier described after enucleation (picouet et clairambault, 1977), is not obse ... | 1983 | 6672097 |
| [experimental anatomic study of the topography of the retinofugal projections in discoglossus pictus (amphibia, anura). i. the thalamus: re-examination of the contralateral retinotopy and the origin of the uncrossed optic fibers]. | the topography of retinofugal projections on the thalamus of an anuran amphibia was studied by fink-heimer technique. after small lesions in retina, degeneration was found in all contralateral neuropils and in one or several ipsilateral neuropils according to retinal location: a lesion in temporal retina is followed by large axonal degeneration in neuropil of bellonci; a dorsal lesion invaded whole geniculate neuropil while within it, contralateral ventral and nasal projections are scarce. ipsil ... | 1983 | 6672092 |
| effects of prolactin and bromocriptine in discoglossus pictus (anuran amphibian. otth) tadpoles. | 1. the results obtained by ovine prolactin administration during the larval development of discoglossus pictus (ott) suggests that prolactin-like hormone is the "larval factor" necessary for growth and for maintaining the larval aquatic features. 2. bromocriptine treatment during the larval development of d. pictus has contrary effect on growth and larval structures. 3. prolactin administration does not inhibit but delays metamorphosis. 4. when bromocriptine is added at late stages of the develo ... | 1983 | 6132721 |
| globin evolution in some species of the genus bufo. | the globins of 10 species of toads of the genus bufo have been analysed. from the values of the reciprocal rates between their amino acid residues a 'dissimilarity matrix' was made. in this have been included the values related to discoglossus pictus and xenopus laevis. the numerical data, derived from a computer program, gave a dendrogram representing the evolution of the analysed globins. this appears correlated to the geographical distribution and to the metabolic adaptation of the correspond ... | 1984 | 6744827 |
| catalase enzymatic activity and electrophoretic patterns in adult amphibians--a comparative study. | catalase electrophoretic patterns and enzymatic activities were measured in four organs of two anuran species, rana ridibunda perezii and discoglossus pictus. the d. pictus enzyme appeared as two distinguishable bands, whereas r. ridibunda catalase was monomorphic. electrophoretic mobility of the major d. pictus catalase band was greater than that of r. ridibunda. enzymes from both species showed slower mobility than that from bovine liver. catalase activities did not show significant difference ... | 1985 | 3995926 |

| the cortical endoplasmic reticulum and its possible role in activation of discoglossus pictis (anura) eggs. | the role of endoplasmic reticulum was investigated in the egg of discoglossus pictus; recent findings suggest that this organelle is the source of ca2+ sequestration and release at activation. in the egg of discoglossus the dimple is the only site where sperm-egg fusion occurs. microvilli containing microfilament bundles penetrate into the dimple cytoplasm and thus define a cortical layer containing cortical granules, tubular cisternae 35 nm thick and vacuoles. in the underlying cytoplasm are cl ... | 1986 | 3825679 |
| the role of glycosaminoglycans in anuran pigment cell migration. | the migratory pathways of neural crest-derived pigment cells were examined in two anurans, xenopus laevis and discoglossus pictus, and correlated with the distribution of glycosaminoglycans (gag) in the extracellular matrix (ecm) of these pathways. in xenopus, melanophores in the trunk reach the dermis by initially migrating ventrally, between the neural tube and somites, and then by migrating through the somites to reach the subectodermal space. in discoglossus, melanophores, iridophores, and x ... | 1986 | 3723060 |
| different levels of hyperoxia reversibly induce catalase activity in amphibian tadpoles. | studies about the proposed antioxidant physiological role of the catalase (cat) enzyme in relation to different environmental oxygen tensions are reported for the first time in amphibian larvae of discoglossus pictus and rana ridibunda perezi during their development. the cat levels of whole tadpoles increased constantly in both species during the larval period, reaching a maximum during the metamorphic climax. all through development, cat activity levels were always greater in d. pictus than in ... | 1987 | 3666517 |
| comparative data on acetylcholinesterase cytochemistry in various chromaffin cell types of discoglossus pictus (amphibia, anura). | the cytochemical localization of acetylcholinesterase (ache) activity was studied in the adrenal chromaffin cells of discoglossus pictus. reaction end-products were associated with all types of chromaffin cells, i.e. adrenaline (a), noradrenaline (n) and small granule chromaffin (sgc-a, sgc-n) cells, and nervous elements present in the gland. the sgc-a and sgc-n showed the same intensity of ache reaction in a and n cells, respectively. on the whole, the a and sgc-a cells were more reactive than ... | 1987 | 2443117 |
| physiological significance of catalase and glutathione peroxidases, and in vivo peroxidation, in selected tissues of the toad discoglossus pictus (amphibia) during acclimation to normobaric hyperoxia. | 1. various parameters related to oxidative stress were measured in adult discoglossus pictus acclimated for 15 days to either normoxia or hyperoxia (po2 = 710 mmhg). 2. total weight of the toads and total and relative wet weight of liver, kidneys, lungs and heart were not changed by hyperoxic acclimation. 3. in vivo tissue peroxidation increased in lung, decreased in skeletal muscle, and was not changed in liver, kidney, heart and skin after hyperoxic exposure. 4. hyperoxic acclimation increased ... | 1988 | 3249021 |
| the area acustico-vestibularis of discoglossus pictus. ii. the primary afferent projections. | in the present report the primary projections to the dorsal rhombencephalic alar plate (area acustico-vestibularis, aav) of the adult anuran amphibian discoglossus pictus have been studied by means of the anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (hrp). as in alytes cisternasii, other member of the family discoglossidae, no primary afferent fibers to the aav were found from nerves other than the viiith cranial nerve. no remanent of the lateral line system in the adult stage is present. the ... | 1988 | 3263415 |
