The frog skin-derived antimicrobial peptide esculentin-1a(1-21)nh2 promotes the migration of human hacat keratinocytes in an egf receptor-dependent manner: a novel promoter of human skin wound healing? [PDF]
, 2015 One of the many functions of skin is to protect the organism against a wide range of pathogens. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) produced by the skin epithelium provide an effective chemical shield against microbial pathogens. However, whereas antibacterial/

Effect of dietary protein:lipid ratio on growth and body composition in bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2023 A feeding trial was performed to assess dietary protein:lipid ratios for the grow-out phase of the bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus). Nine balanced isoenergetic diets were formulated, combining three different protein levels (300, 400, and 500 g kg−1 ...

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) promotes wound re-epithelialisation in frog and human skin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 There remains a critical need for new therapeutics that promote wound healing in patients suffering from chronic skin wounds. This is, in part, due to a shortage of simple, physiologically and clinically relevant test systems for investigating candidate ...

A study of frog muscle maintained in organ culture [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 1972 1. Frog muscles are isolated and maintained in organ culture conditions for periods of up to 2 months. During the first 2 weeks, muscle fibres have normal resting membrane and action potentials. Subsequently the potentials decline in amplitude.2. Slow muscle fibres also survive in culture and retain their ability to give maintained contractures.3 ...

Frog Virus 3 Infection, Cultured American Bullfrogs
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 To the Editor: Ranaculture, the practice of farm-raising frogs for scientific and culinary purposes, is practiced in many countries, including the United States (1). As with aquaculture, most ranaculture challenges relate to husbandry and disease. In aquaculture, iridovirus infections are reportable and can result in large-scale fish deaths (2,3).
