Insights about the toxic effects of tannery effluent on Lithobates catesbeianus tadpoles

Science of The Total Environment, 2018
Tannery industries are considered highly polluting due to the large production of polluted wastewater [untreated tannery effluent (UTE)]. Although previous studies have already shown the consequences from fish, birds and mammals' exposure to this pollutant, little is known about its toxicological effect on representatives of class amphibian.

The Absence of Zoonotic Agents in Invasive Bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) in Belgium and The Netherlands

EcoHealth, 2013
Exotic invasive bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) are considered to exert a considerable negative impact on native amphibian communities. This can be due to competition and predation, but they are also a notorious source of the infectious diseases chytridiomycosis and ranavirosis, affecting amphibian populations globally.

Metabolic responses in bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeianus after exposure to zinc, copper and cadmium

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2020
This study investigated the activity of lactated dehydrogenase (LDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) enzymes and the levels of glucose, protein and triglyceride in bullfrog tadpoles after exposure to 1 μg L-1 of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) isolated and combined for 2 and 16 days. Zn, Cu + Cd and Zn + Cu + Cd increased the activity of the LDH (2

Physicochemical evaluation of the meat of the American Bullfrog (Lithobates Catesbeianus)

Agro Productividad
Objective: To determine the physicochemical characteristics of bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) meat. Design/methodology/approach: Fifteen samples of bullfrog legs and fifteen samples of chicken meat were used. Subsequently, 50% of the meat was cooked in a water bath. Results: Bullfrog meat had less protein and more fat (P<0.05) than chicken meat.

Fasting elicits immune modulation and leukocyte redistribution in bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology
An integrated range of behavioral, physiological, and biochemical adjustments reduces metabolic expenditure and energy utilization during fasting to maintain homeostasis. In order to cope with these adjustments, several vertebrates can modulate immune function and corticosterone secretion while fasting to save energy.

Ontogeny of the Digestive Enzymes of Tadpoles ofLithobates catesbeianus

Copeia, 2016
The transition from aquatic to terrestrial phase in amphibians, called metamorphosis, is accompanied by ecological, morphological, physiological, and biochemical changes. These enable the digestive system of the animal to take up nutrients when the feeding habit changes from omnivorous/herbivorous in tadpoles to carnivorous in adults.
