Melatonin and 5-methoxytryptophol (5-ML) in nervous and/or neurosensory structures of a gastropod mollusc (Helix aspersa maxima): synthesis and diurnal rhythms

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2003
Daily patterns of melatonin and 5-methoxytryptophol (5-ML) concentrations and of aryl alkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AA-NAT) and hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase (HIOMT) activities have been measured in the cerebroid ganglions, visceral ganglions, and ocular tentacles of the gastropod mollusc Helix aspersa maxima.

Growth and srif-like substance(s) in the snail Helix aspersa maxima fed with an arginin-enriched food at different times of a short daily photophase

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1991
Abstract 1. 1. The study of the growth of Helix aspersa maxima bred under short light conditions and fed with a standard or arginin-enriched food supplied at different times of the photophase was performed using amino acid analysis and radioimmunoassays of SRIF-like substance(s). 2. 2. Arginin does not appear as a stimulant growth factor. 3.

Influence of diets enriched with different vegetable oils on the fatty acid profiles of snail Helix aspersa maxima

Food Chemistry, 2003
Abstract The proximate analyses and fatty acid profiles of snail (Helix aspersa maxima) muscle submitted to different feedings with diets enriched with 3% of different vegetable oils (canola, soybean, flaxseed, sunflower, maize and rice) were analysed. The lowest value of lipids was in the snail muscle of the treatment enriched with soybean oil.

Ultradian and circadian rhythmicity of behavioral activities in the young snail Helix aspersa maxima (Gastropoda, Helicidae)

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1993
The rhythm of behavioral activities was studied in 8- to 100-day-old young snails (Helix aspersa maxima) and compared with that of adults. The animals were individually tested. Locomotor activity made up the main part of the total activity. The temporal distribution of feeding closely matches that of locomotion (involving displacement), while ...

Direct Heritability Estimates for Growth, Carcass and Precocity in Snails Cornu aspersum maximum (Synonym Helix aspersa maxima)

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics
ABSTRACTThe aim was to estimate the heritabilities for accumulated weight gain between 60 and 90 days (WG1), 90 and 120 days (WG2) and 120 and 150 days of age (WG3), pre‐slaughter body weight (PRE), meat‐to‐shell ratio (MS), carcass yield (CY) and age at first oviposition (AFO) in a population of snails Cornu aspersum maximum.
