anatomical distribution of estrogen target neurons in turtle brain.	autoradiographic studies with [3h]estradiol-17 beta in red-eared turtle (pseudemys scripta elegans) show concentration and retention of radioactivity in nuclei of neurons in certain regions. accumulations of estrogen target neurons exist in the periventricular brain with relationships to ventral extensions of the forebrain ventricles, including parolfactory, amygdaloid, septal, preoptic, hypothalamic and thalamic areas, as well as the dorsal ventricular ridge, the piriform cortex, and midbrain-p ...	1981	7317778
estrogen-sensitive progestin binding sites in the brain of the lizard, anolis carolinensis.	cytosol binding sites for the synthetic progestin [3h]r5020 have been identified in the brain and oviduct from untreated and estrogen primed ovariectomized female lizards (anolis carolinensis). competition of various unlabeled steroids at either 10 nm (brain) or 10 and 100 nm (oviduct) revealed that progestins were effective competitors whereas two glucocorticoids as well as testosterone and estradiol were ineffective. the apparent dissociation constant (kd) of the receptor for [3h]r5020 in the ...	1981	7196792
scanning electron microscope studies of the auditory papillae of some iguanid lizards.	the papillae basilares of 16 species (10 general) of iguanid lizards were studied by scanning electron microscopy. variations in the surface structures of the auditory papillae showed the following major differences: 1)papillae with localization of the unidirectional hair cells at the apical end of the papilla (anolis carolinensis); 2)papillae with absence or loss of a portion of the apical bidirectional hair-cell segment (basiliscus basiliscus); 3)papillae with a central, short ciliated, unidir ...	1981	7304475
effects of prostaglandins on sexual receptivity in the female lizard, anolis carolinensis.	prostaglandins (pgs) have been implicated in the mediation of sexual behavior in vertebrates. in this study, the effects of administered pgs on sexual receptivity were examined in the ovariectomized female green anole lizard (anolis carolinensis). injection (ip) of 15 microgram pgf2 alpha failed to induce sexual receptivity in nonreceptive females which were either untreated or estrogen primed. on the other hand, pgf2 alpha treatment of sexually receptive estrogen-pretreated females inhibited se ...	1981	7250049
tonic immobility produces hyperalgesia and antagonizes morphine analgesia.	hyperalgesia was demonstrated during and immediately after termination of tonic immobility in the lizard anolis carolinensis. additionally, tonic immobility antagonized morphine-induced analgesia. in conjunction with other research, these data suggest that the response is accompanied by a reduced availability of serotonin, possibly at postsynaptic receptors of raphe neurons.	1981	7244620
immunohistochemical localization of enkephalin in the central nervous system and pituitary of the lizard, anolis carolinensis.	the topographical distribution of enkephalin in the central nervous system of the lizard, anolis carolinensis, has been studied by the immunoperoxidase technique with antiserum to leucine-enkephalin. immunoreactive enkephalin perikarya, fibers and probably terminals are widely distributed throughout the central nervous system, which agrees well with the distribution of enkephalins in the mammalian brain. enkephalin-containing perikarya are found in the subpallium (septum, nucleus accumbens, stri ...	1981	7019274
skin-colour changes i the lizard, anolis carolinensis, in response to localized electrical stimulation and lesions in the diencephalon.	a study was made of changes in skin colour in the lizard, anolis carolinensis, in response to deep electrical stimulation at 0.2 mm intervals throughout the periventricular region of the diencephalon and the anterior brain stem. double-barrelled glass microelectrodes with tip diameters of 3 microns were used. a 20 microa pulse-train consisting of a 500 hz signal lasting for 1 s yielded localized responses. skin darkening occurred only in response to stimulation delivered in the anterior and dors ...	1981	7017054
microfilaments interacting with heavy meromyosin and deoxyribonuclease i in cells of the ovarian follicle of a lizard.	two types of filaments (microfilaments 4--6 nm in diameter, and intermediate filaments 7--10 nm in diameter) are common in the surface epithelial cells and theca fibroblasts of vitellogenic ovarian follicles of the lizard anolis carolinensis. heavy meromyosin (hmm), which forms complexes with actin filaments, interacts only with the microfilaments of theca fibroblasts. after myosin extraction of follicles no filaments disappeared, but when this treatment was followed by incubation with deoxyribo ...	1981	6266673
effects of mif-i and sex differences on tonic immobility duration in the lizard, anolis carolinensis.	in june, 36 lizards (males and females) were injected with 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, or 100 mg/kg of mif-i, or the diluent vehicle, and placed in a cage for ten minutes. tonic immobility (ti) was then induced on an open lab table. all doses of mif-i significantly reduced ti duration as compared to the duration with the diluent alone. in subsequent experiments lizards were injected with 0.1 mg/kg of mif-i, 0.1 mg/kg of naloxone, or the diluent vehicle, and placed in small aquaria for ten minutes. ti ...	1981	6115366
four hormones in the pancreas of the lizard, anolis carolinensis.	the electron microscopic localization of insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide (pp) in the pancreas of the iguanid lizard, anolis carolinensis was studied by the unlabeled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocytochemical technique. insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin were localized absolutely to those cells previously identified on the basis of the characteristics of their secretory granules as being beta cells, alpha cells, and d cells, respectively. the secretory gra ...	1981	6111934

the effect of hyperglycemia on brain capillary permeability in the lizard, anolis carolinensis. a freeze-fracture analysis of blood-brain barrier pathology.	the anatomical basis of the blood-brain barrier in the american chameleon, anolis carolinensis, is the system of tight intercellular junctions that occurs between apposed endothelial cells of brain capillaries. under normal physiological conditions, capillaries in the brain cortex of these animals remain sealed by interendothelial zonulae occludentes and, consequently, escape of exogenous tracer proteins such as horseradish peroxidase (hrp) into the extracellular compartment of the central nervo ...	1979	466426
occluding-like junctions at mesaxons of central myelin in anolis carolinensis are not 'tight'. a freeze-fracture-protein tracer analysis.	the junctional complexes of the myelin sheath of central nervous system axons in the american chameleon, anolis carolinensis, exhibit an intramembrane ridge and groove construction in freeze-fracture replicas that has usually been interpreted in other organisms as evidence for an occluding or tight intercellular junction. close examination of pf fracture face ridges, however, shows them to be made up of discontinuous rows of particles of variable length separated by frequent gaps of non-uniform ...	1979	473168

effects of intracranial implantation of oestradiol and dihydrotestosterone on the sexual behaviour of the lizard anolis carolinensis.	intrahypothalamic implantation of oestradiol and dihydrotestosterone rapidly restored sexual behaviour in castrated, sexually inactive anolis carolinensis. implants in areas other than the anterior hypothalamus-preoptic area failed to elicit sexual behaviour. male aggressive behaviour was unaffected by intracranial hormone implants. histological examination of the renal sex segment, a secondary sex structure, gave no indication of leakage into the peripheral plasma. the effectiveness of oestradi ...	1979	574532
role of the paleostriatum in species-typical display behavior of the lizard (anolis carolinensis).	in a comparative study of forebrain mechanisms of species-typical behavior, unilateral lesions were placed in the subpallial telencephalon of male green anolis lizards (anolis carolinsis), in which there is an almost complete decussation of the optic nerve. responses to a conspecific male antagonist in a territorial confrontation were then tested when the subject's vision was limited to an eye leading to either the normal or lesioned hemisphere. in lizards with lesions involving the paleostriatu ...	1979	466473
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
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
hormonal control of male reproductive behavior in the lizard, anolis carolinensis: role of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and estradiol.	the androgen aromatization hypothesis was examined in the male lizard, anolis carolinensis. after castration, sc silastic implants of testosterone (t) restored both challenge and courtship behavior, while dihydrotestosterone (dht) or 17beta-estradiol (e) had no effect on male behaviors. both t and dht, but not e, stimulated hypertrophy and colloid production by the renal sex segment, a secondary sexual characteristic of male lizards. in two separate studies, castrates received dht in combination ...	1978	748019

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
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
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
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
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

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
calcium requirement for melanophore-stimulating hormone action on melanophores.	the calcium ion is specifically required for the action of melanophorestimulating hormone on melanosome dispersion within lizard (anolis carolinensis) melanophores in vitro. the response to this hormone is directly related to the concentration of the ca(2+) ion. lithium, choline, rubidium, and cesium will replace the sodium and potassium of ringer solution if ca(2+) is present. calcium ions are not required for melanosome dispersion itself, since theophylline or dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monoph ...	1971	4328482
