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 skin cultures secrete anti-yellow fever compounds [PDF]
The Journal of Antibiotics, 2016 There is an urgent need to develop novel antimicrobial substances. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered as promising candidates for future therapeutic use. Because of the re-emergence of the Flavivirus infection, and particularly the yellow fever virus (YFV), we have compared the antiviral activities from skin secretions of seven different frog

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 ...

Amphibian chytridiomycosis : a review with focus on fungus-host interactions [PDF]
, 2015 Amphibian declines and extinctions are emblematic for the current sixth mass extinction event. Infectious drivers of these declines include the recently emerged fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ...
