On the cardiac control in the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa

open access: yesComparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1989
Abstract 1. 1. The mechanisms behind cardiac control were investigated in the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa , using fish with chronically implanted cannulae and electromagnetic flow probes. In addition, a preliminary study was made of the cardiovascular events associated with air breathing. 2. 2.

Thermal Responses of the South American Lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa

Copeia, 1980
Intestinal temperatures of nine South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa (Fitzinger), were monitored following exposures to sudden changes of +6.0 C in water temperature. Body weights were significantly (P < 0.001) correlated with thermal equilibration halftimes (T1/2) in a double logarithmic fashion for both heating and cooling.

Nitrogen metabolism of the South American lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1972
Abstract 1. 1. Lepidosiren paradoxa, kept in water, either fed or unfed, excretes up to 38 per cent its nitrogenous waste as urea. 2. 2. d -Arginine is hydrolyzed by liver homogenates but l -arginine and guanidinic compounds are not. 3. 3.

Biology of the South American Lungfi sh, Lepidosiren paradoxa

open access: yes, 2016
Lepidosiren paradoxa, locally known as pirambóia, belongs to the order Dipnoi, or true lungfishes. Th is group includes two other genera: a single Australian species of Neoceratodus (N.

Aestivation in the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa: Effects on cardiovascular function, blood gases, osmolality and leptin levels

open access: yesRespiratory Physiology and Neurobiology, 2008
The African (Protopterus sp.) and South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) inhabit shallow waters, that seasonally dry out, which induces aestivation and cocoon formation in Protopterus. Differently, L.

Retina of the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa Fitzinger

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1973
The characteristic feature of the retina of Lepidosiren paradoxa is the hugeness (20–25 μm) and sparse-ness of the cells which compose it. The epithelial layer is well pigmented. The visual cells may be classified into rods and single cones which possess a large oil droplet and a smaller paraboloid.

The Development of Lepidosiren paradoxa

Journal of Cell Science, 1902
ABSTRACT In the following pages I give an account of the chief results obtained from my investigation of the development of Lepidosiren, in so far as they relate to the skin and certain organs associated with it. Some structures which ought logically to be described now have been deliberately omitted: such are the external gills, which I

Morphology of the gill epithelium of the Lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa

Cell and Tissue Research, 1974
The gills of Lepidosiren are very much reduced, consisting of a few lobe-like filaments. The gill epithelium differs from most other fish in being 4–7 layers thick. Three varieties of cell are described which occur in the inner epithelial layers. It is suggested that these represent stages in the synthesis of a granular secretory product.
