Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) In Vitro Fertilization

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2009
INTRODUCTIONBreeding of axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) can be accomplished by natural or artificial methods. Although natural matings are a very easy way of obtaining axolotl embryos, in vitro fertilization can have other advantages. For example, through in vitro fertilization, it is possible to know the exact time of fertilization.

The Axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum

1975
The Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), a widely used laboratory animal, is a native of Lake Xochimilco, a large clear-water lake at Mexico City. The various scientific names which have been applied to it are discussed at length by Smith (1969) in a recent article.

Housing and Maintenance of Ambystoma mexicanum, the Mexican Axolotl

2015
The aim of this paper is to assemble a significant amount of information on Ambystoma mexicanum, the axolotl salamander, to assist in the basic knowledge needed to raise, breed, and study most aspects of axolotl biology. It is important to understand the basic biology of the axolotl in order to make informed decisions on their proper care and use in ...

Induction of Metamorphosis in Axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum)

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2009
INTRODUCTIONThe Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) follows a very different pattern of development from other closely related tiger salamanders. Whereas many tiger salamanders undergo an obligatory metamorphosis, axolotls rarely if ever transform in the lab.

Neuroepithelial endocrine cells in the lung of Ambystoma mexicanum

The Anatomical Record, 1989
AbstractNeuroepithelial endocrine (NEE) cells were for the first time identified in the lung of the entirely aquatic urodele, Ambystoma mexicanum, by using light and electron microscopy, histochemistry, and immunocytochemistry. In the basal part of the ciliated epithelium and, less often, in the respiratory portion of the lung, NEE cells were found to ...

Feeding behaviour of larval Ambystoma mexicanum

Amphibia-Reptilia, 2011
Abstract The Axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, endemic to the freshwater lakes, Xochimilco and Chalco in Mexico City, feeds on zooplankton during its larval stages. We evaluated the functional response over eight weeks of A. mexicanum fed different prey items found in its natural habitat (rotifers:

Thyroxine-Induced Metamorphosis in the Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum)

2015
The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has remained an important model for regeneration and developmental biology for over a century. Although axolotls in captive-bred colonies usually exist in an aquatic form, they retain the ability to undergo metamorphosis following exposure to thyroid hormone.

Ionic composition of the plasma of Ambystoma mexicanum

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1977
Abstract 1. 1. The ionic composition of Ambystoma mexicanum plasma was found to be: Na + , 94.7 mM; K + , 3.0 mM; Ca 2+ , 1.63mM; Cl − , 84.7mM. The pH was 7.69, and the osmolality 216 mOsm. 2. 2. The composition is similar to that of A. tigrinum and A. gracile , and also to that of several anurans. 3. 3.
