Do circulating plasma AVT and/or cortisol levels control pulsatile urea excretion in the gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta)?
Abstract
Previous work has shown that pulsatile urea excretion at the gills of the gulf toadfish is due to periodic activation of a facilitated diffusion transport system with molecular and pharmacological similarity to the UT-A transport system of the mammalian kidney. In mammals, AVP and glucocorticoids are two important endocrine regulators of this system. The present study focused on the potential role of circulating AVT (the teleost homologue of …
