Cholinesterases in the bladder of the toad (Bufo Marinus)

Biochemical Pharmacology, 1965
Abstract A study of the nature of the cholinesterases present in the bladder of the toad (Bufo marinus) has been undertaken in an attempt to explain why eserine fails to potentiate the responses to either applied acetylcholine or pelvic nerve stimulation.

Axoplasmic transport in the toad Bufo marinus

Brain Research, 1975
The rate and course of axoplasmic transport from the eighth dorsal root ganglion cell bodies into the sciatic nerve of the toad Bufo marinus were studied. Concentrated tritiated proline was hydraulically injected into a surgically exposed dorsal root ganglion of animals maintained at 19 +/- 0.5 degrees C.

Prolactin, calcitonin and blood calcium in the toads Bufo boreas and Bufo marinus

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1971
Abstract Bufo boreas and B. marinus show a hypocalcemic response to a single injection of porcine calcitonin (significant in the latter). Chronic treatment results in hypercalcemia. Ovine prolactin treatment results in a tendency toward hypercalcemia in all cases, which was not significant in any single experiment.

Characterization of cholinesterase of muscularis muscle of Bufo marinus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1987
We have characterized the cholinesterase (ChE) of muscularis muscle of Bufo marinus by selectively using specific inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase and pseudocholinesterase and observing susceptibility to inhibition when substrate is present in excess.

Renal vascular anatomy of the toad (Bufo marinus)

Cell and Tissue Research, 1978
The renal vasculature of the toad, Bufo marinus, was studied mainly by means of scanning electron microscopy of vascular corrosion casts. All arterial branches terminated in a glomerulus. Each glomerulus was supplied by only one afferent arteriole. No shunts between afferent and efferent arterioles were observed.

Spontaneous chromomycosis in the marine toad (Bufo marinus)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1992
Post-mortem examinations were performed on two marine toads, one animal showing neurological disorders and the other multifocal dermatitis. In one case, lesions consisted of a severe granulomatous encephalomyelitis and in the other of multiple granulomas in the nasal cavity, lungs, heart, bone marrow, ovaries and skin.

Seasonal comparison of the neuromuscular junction morphology of Bufo marinus [PDF]

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2019
AbstractAt mammalian neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), prolonged inactivity leads to muscle denervation and atrophy. By contrast, amphibian NMJs do not show such degeneration even though they can remain in a state of drought‐imposed dormancy (hibernation) for many years.

Skull allometry in the marine toad,Bufo marinus

Journal of Morphology, 1999
Scaling predictions pioneered by A.V. Hill state that isometric changes in kinematics result from isometric changes in size. These predictions have been difficult to support because few animals display truly isometric growth. An exception to this rule is said to be the toads in the genus Bufo, which can grow over three orders of magnitude. To determine

The morphology and distribution of photoreceptors in the retina of Bufo marinus

Anatomy and Embryology, 1991
The number, cell morphology and retinal distribution of rods and cones were determined in the retina of the toad, Bufo marinus. Adult animals were sacrificed, both eyes were removed and prepared for either tangential section across the outer segments of the photoreceptor layer, or transverse section across the whole retina.
