Bufo arenarum - Open Access .click

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1971
Abstract 1. 1. Toads have in their kidneys a renin-like enzyme and in their plasma an angiotensinogen-like substance. The incubation of toad plasma with kidney extracts gives rise to a pressor substance having properties similar to angiotensin. 2. 2. The renin content of the toad kidney expressed/g of kidney is higher in smaller animals. 3.

Modulators of Bufo arenarum ovulation

Zygote, 2008
SummaryIn this study we investigated ovulation in vitro using ovary samples from Bufo arenarum with respect to their response to stimulation with homologous pituitary homogenate (HPH) or with progesterone and prostaglandins (PGF2α and PGE1) as intermediates of pituitary action.

Lipids during Bufo arenarum oogenesis

Zygote, 2003
The content and composition of phospholipids and triacylglycerols (TAGs) in Bufo arenarum oocytes in stages III and IV of their oogenesis were studied. The total amount of phospholipids in stage IV oocytes is 0.5-fold higher than in stage III oocytes.

Chloride Currents in Skeletal Muscles of Bufo arenarum

Journal of Membrane Biology, 1996
C1- currents (ICl) were measured in short fibers (1-2 mm) from the lumbricalis muscle of toads (Bufo arenarum) with two microelectrodes (15 degrees C). Initially the fibers were equilibrated in a high (K+)-containing solution: (mM) K2SO4 68; Na2SO4 20; KCl 60; CaSO4 8; MgSO4 1; HEPES 2.5.
