| effects of cyclic 3',5'-amp and other adenine nucleotides on the melanophores of the lizard (anolis carolinensis). | 1. cyclic 3',5'-amp has been reported to darken skins of the frog, rana pipiens. this suggests that cyclic 3',5'-amp may mediate the action of msh on amphibian chromatophores. since msh also darkens skins of the lizard, anolis carolinensis, we investigated the effects of cyclic 3',5'-amp and other nucleotides on anolis melanophores to determine whether cyclic 3',5'-amp may be the intracellular mediator of hormone action on melanophores of another vertebrate class.2. cyclic 3',5'-amp, itself, cau ... | 1969 | 4310588 |

| presence of lateral eye lens crystallins in the median eye of the american chameleon. | with the use of immunofluorescence techniques, gamma globulin antibody specific for the crystallins of anolis carolinensis lateral eye lens was applied to sections through the median (parapineal) eye of anolis carolinensis. only the median eye lens exhibited fluorescence specific for the crystallins; other structures were negative. these results indicate that the lens of the reptilean median eye shares tissue-specific antigenic determinants with the lens of the lateral eye. this suggests a possi ... | 1972 | 17836135 |
| some morphological and ultrastructural changes in the ependyma of the amputation stump during early regeneration of the tail in the lizard, anolis carolinensis. | light and electron microscope studies indicate that the old ependyma just proximal to the plane of amputation in early lizard tail regenerates shows a sequence of morphological changes which suggests that it as well as the new ependyma growing into the regenerate may play an active role in the initiation and maintenance of early tail regeneration. the old ependyma close to the plane of amputation undergoes hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia causing a partial closure of the central canal and pseudost ... | 1973 | 30336651 |

| thermoregulatory function of the parietal eye in the lizard anolis carolinensis. | animals were acclimitized to a daily cycle of 15-25°c and a photoperiod of ld 12:12. parietalectomized animals in an experimental thermal gradient (15°c-40°c, ld 12:12) selected significantly higher temperatures than controls at all hours of the day except from 0800-1200. these results suggest that the lizard parapineal plays a direct role in thermoregulation in addition to the indirect function as an illuminometer. | 1974 | 28308800 |
| mast cell histamine and ovarian follicular growth in the lizard anolis carolinensis. | the hypothesis is proposed that histamine released from mast cells in the theca of ovarian follicles increases thecal hyperemia and vessel permeability, and thus plays a role in follicular growth in anolis carolinensis. mast cells are present in the stroma and theca, and the number of thecal mast cells increases as follicles grow. the levels of histamine in follicular walls varies with follicular size. histamine causes vasodilatation of thecal vessels. antihistamine blocks the effects of histami ... | 1975 | 1176907 |
| biochemical characterization of crystals from the dermal iridophores of a chameleon anolis carolinensis. | the biochemical characteristics of dermal iridophore crystals from anolis carolinensis have been investigated. iridophores isolated by collangenase-hyaluronidase treatment were sonicated and their contents fractionated through sucrose. pure iridophore crystals so obtained were examined by chromatography and electron diffraction. they were found to be pure hydrated crystalline form. the suggestion is made that the subcrystalline structure of this guanine does not play a role in color production b ... | 1975 | 1167183 |

| re-introduction and evaluation of an accurate, high capacity bioassay for melanocyte-stimulating hormone using the skin of anolis carolinensis in vitro. | a simple and rapid assay for the quantitative determination of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (msh) activity, using skin fragments of the lizard anolis carolinensis in vitro, is described in detail. this assay, in which a quantal response (e.g. induction of a brownish-green colour) can be detected by visual observation, allows determination of msh activity in up to 50 samples/day by one person, using the skin of one lizard. the mean dose found to induce this colour change was 0-15 ng synthetic a ... | 1975 | 170354 |
| experimental infection of anole lizards (anolis carolinensis) with mycobacterium ulcerans by the subcutaneous route. | to test whether herpetofauna could be a laboratory model for mycobacterium ulcerans, 21 anole lizards were inoculated subcutaneously with viable m. ulcerans, 21 with autoclaved organisms, and 14 with an aqueous solution of 0.01% tween 80. m. ulcerans was recovered in culture from the slowly progressive lesions which developed at the inoculation site in lizards receiving the viable bacteria. progressive lesions did not occur in the two control groups. three patterns of inflammatory response to vi ... | 1975 | 1155700 |
| experimental alimentary infection of anole lizards (anolis carolinensis) with mycobacterium ulcerans. | pathogenic mycobacterium ulcerans were recovered from the stool of anole lizards up to 11 days after inoculation by stomach tube. m. ulcerans was isolated from the liver of 3 of 20 lizards and acid fast bacteria were seen in the mucosa of intrahepatic bile ducts in 2 of these 10 weeks post-inoculation. these results provide equivocal support for our hypothesis that herpetofauna are a reservoir of infection with m. ulcerans. | 1976 | 961984 |
| glucagon levels in pancreatic extracts and plasma of the lizard (1). | levels of glucagon in the splenic pancreas and in plasma of the lizard anolis carolinensis were estimated by radioimmunoassay. the splenic pancreas of anolis has a glucagon concentration nearly a 1000 times greater, on a weight basis, than that of the mammalian pancreas. glucagon-like immunoreactivity (gli) of anolian plasma varied over a wide range, but relative to mammals the gli levels were inappropriately elevated for the concentration of plasma glucagon secretion, particularly as related to ... | 1976 | 970344 |
| body temperature of the lizard (anolis carolinensis): effect of parietalectomy. | thermal behavior of parietalectomized, sham-parietalectomized or intact lizards (anolis carolinensis) was recorded in a test chamber containing moving photothermal gradients. following parietalectomy, animals chose significantly higher temperatures than sham-parietalectomized or intact control animals, which chose lower and statistically identical temperatures. when pre-surgical and post-surgical means are compared within groups, the eccritic temperature was 2.10 degrees c higher following parie ... | 1976 | 978158 |

| hemipenile preference: stimulus control of male mounting behavior in the lizard anolis carolinensis. | the urogenital system of squamate reptiles is represented by separate, bilaterally symmetrical tracts. males alternate in their use of the right and left hemipenes. sensory feedback from the hemipenis and, to a lesser extent, from the ipsilateral testis is important in determining which hemipenis the male will use for mating. | 1978 | 17812952 |
| sensitive new in vitro bioassay for melanocyte-stimulating activity using the skin of anolis carolinensis. | an accurate, highly reproducible and sensitive bioassay for melanocyte-stimulating hormone (msh) using the skin of anolis carolinensis in vitro is described. the time taken for green anolis skin fragments to change to a specific, visually assessed, green-brown color is dose-related, and this forms the basis of the new assay. the method is simple to perform, and 1 person may assay 20 samples in a day using the dorsal skin from a single adult lizard. the mean dose-response ranges between 48 x 10(- ... | 1978 | 212484 |
| melanocyte-stimulating hormone--mimetic action of the phenothiazines. | we have compared the melanophore-stimulating action of four phenothiazines, trifluoperazine, perphenazine, chlorpromazine, and prochlorperazine, with alpha-msh on the skin of the lizard anolis carolinensis, using a new rate method of bioassay. the dose-response curves for the phenothiazines were parallel to that of alpha-msh, and when given together alpha-msh and chlorpromazine were additive. the phenothiazines may therefore stimulate melanosome dispersion in the lizard skin by the same mechanis ... | 1978 | 24711 |
