isolation and structure elucidation of feeding deterrent diterpenoids from the sea pansy, renilla reniformis.	four new briarane diterpenoids, renillins a-d (1-4), and the known compound renillafoulin c (5) were isolated from the sea pansy, renilla reniformis. the structures and relative stereochemistry were elucidated by the interpretation of spectroscopic data. using laboratory feeding assays, all compounds tested at natural concentrations significantly deterred feeding by the predatory lesser blue crab, callinectes similis, while renillins c (3) and d (4) also deterred feeding by the predatory mummich ...	2005	15844939
the effect of environmental hypercapnia and salinity on the expression of nhe-like isoforms in the gills of a euryhaline fish (fundulus heteroclitus).	the current models for branchial acid excretion in fishes include na(+)/h(+) exchange and the electrogenic excretion of h+ via h+-atpase. the predominant route of acid excretion in some freshwater fishes is thought to be via the h+-atpase/na+ channel system. the euryhaline fundulus heteroclitus may not fit this profile even when adapted to freshwater (fw). we hypothesize that the na+/h+ exchanger (nhe) in this species may play a predominant role in acid-base regulation for both marine and fw ada ...	2005	15880778
