Crypt neurons are olfactory receptor cells located in the olfactory epi- thelium of fishes. They exhibit a peculiar and well-recognizable morphol- ogy, although their odorant specificity is still unknown. Data on their appearance during development are few and far between. This study set out to identify the time at which crypt neurons appeared...

The present study describes for the first time in Acerentomon sp. the distribution of glutamate decarboxylase-like immunoreactivity. The presence of this GABA-synthetizing enzyme was described in: pharynx wall, cephalic muscles, posterior part of the supraesophageal ganglion, abdominal glands, neuropil near to the posterior ganglion, cuticular...

Tissue repair is an adaptive and common metazoan response characterized by various cellular mechanisms and complex signalling networks that involve several growth factors and cytokines. In higher animals, the transforming growth factor-β superfamily members (TGF-β SF) signalling plays a fundamental role in wound healing. Aim of this thesis was...

Chronic renal disease is known to alter olfactory function, but the specific changes induced in olfactory organs during this process remain unclear. Of the uraemic toxins generated during renal disease, high levels of urea are known to induce hyposmic conditions. In this study, the effects of environmental exposure to elevated concentrations of...

The experiment was conducted in two earthen ponds to investigate the body composition, and fatty acid profile of carps along with growth performance by using rice polish as fish feed with urea and ammonium nitrate fertilization of pond. Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), Rohu (Labeo rohita) and Mori (Cirrhinus mrigala) were stocked in...

Leptin is a hormone involved in food intake. It is conserved through evolution, but no studies that have focused on its presence in cartilaginous fish are available to date. Here we report the presence of leptin-like immunoreactivity in the gut of the cartilaginous fish Scyliorhinus canicula (Linnaeus,1758) using Western Blot and...

A new receptor neuron (RN) type was recently described in bony fish olfactory epithelium (OE): the crypt receptor neuron. This name is due to its main feature: the presence, at the apical part, of a deep invagination into which cilia protrude. The presence of this receptor neuron type is well documented in different species of bony fishes but...

In vertebrates, the receptor neurons of the olfactory/vomeronasal systems express different receptor gene families and related G-protein types (in particular the G protein alpha subunit). There are no data in the literature about the molecular features of the olfactory/vomeronasal systems of Cladistia thus, in this work, the presence and...

In this study, the presence and distribution of FMRFamide-like immunoreactivity in the alimentary tract of barnacle Balanus amphitrite were investigated. A net of nerve fibers strongly immunoreactive to FMRFamide-like molecules was localized in the posterior midgut and hindgut. Positive varicose nerve terminals were also localized close to the...
