The effect of seawater acclimation and adaptation to various salinities on the energetics of gill and kidney of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) was examined. Smolts and non-smolts previously reared in fresh water were exposed to a rapid increase in salinity to 30 ppt. Plasma osmolarity, [Na⁺], [Cl^–], [K⁺] and [Mg⁺⁺] increased in both groups but were significantly lower in smolts than non-smolts. Gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase specific activity, initially higher in smolts, increased in both groups after 18 days in seawater. Kidney Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase specific activity was not affected by salinity in either group. Gill and kidney citrate synthase specific activity was not affected by seawater exposure in smolts but decreased in non-smolts. In a second experiment, Atlantic salmon smolts reared in fresh water were acclimated to 0, 10 or 30 ppt seawater for 3 months at a temperature of 13–14°C. Gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase was positively correlated with salinity, displaying 2.5- and 5-fold higher specific activity at 10 and 30 ppt, respectively, than at 0 ppt. Kidney Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase specific activity was not significantly affected by environmental salinity. Citrate synthase and cytochrome c oxidase specific activities in gill were slightly (6–13%) lower at 10 ppt than at 0 and 30 ppt, whereas kidney activities were lowest at 30 ppt. Oxygen consumption of isolated gill filaments was significantly higher when incubated in isosmotic saline and at 30 ppt than at 0 ppt, but was not affected by the prior acclimation salinity. The results indicate that although high salinity induces increased gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity, it does not induce substantial increases in metabolic capacity of gill or kidney.  相似文献   

Osmoregulation in the mudskipper,Boleophthalmus boddaerti I. Responses of branchial cation activated and anion stimulated adenosine triphosphatases to changes in salinity     

Ip  Y. K.  Lee  C. G. L.  Low  W. P.  Lam  T. J. 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》1991,9(1):63-68

The mudskipperB. boddaerti, was able to survive in waters of intermediate salinities (4–27). Fish submerged in dechlorinated tap water suffered 60% mortality by the fifth day while 60% of those in 100% sea-water (sw) died after the third day of exposure. After being submerged in 50% or 80% sw for 7 days, the plasma osmolality, plasma Na⁺ and Cl^– concentrations and the branchial Na⁺ and K⁺ activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase) activity were significantly higher than those of fish submerged in 10% sw for the same period. However, the activities of the branchial HCO₃ ^– and Cl^– stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (HCO₃ ^–,Cl^–-ATPase) and carbonic anhydrase of the latter fish were significantly greater than those of the former. Such correlation suggests that Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase is important for hyperosmotic adaptation in this fish while HCO₃ ^–-Cl^–-ATPase and carbonic anhydrase may be involved in hypoosmotic survival.  相似文献   

Physiology of seawater acclimation in the striped bass,Morone saxatilis (Walbaum)     

Steffen S. Madsen  Stephen D. McCormick  Graham Young  Jeanette S. Endersen  Richard S. Nishioka  Howard A. Bern 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》1994,13(1):1-11

Several experiments were performed to investigate the physiology of seawater acclimation in the striped bass, Morone saxatilis. Transfer of fish from fresh water (FW) to seawater (SW; 31–32 ppt) induced only a minimal disturbance of osmotic homeostasis. Ambient salinity did not affect plasma thyroxine, but plasma cortisol remained elevated for 24h after SW transfer. Gill and opercular membrane chloride cell density and Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activity were relatively high and unaffected by salinity. Average chloride cell size, however, was slightly increased (16%) in SW-acclimated fish. Gill succinate dehydrogenase activity was higher in SW-acclimated fish than in FW fish. Kidney Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity was slightly lower (16%) in SW fish than in FW fish. Posterior intestinal Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activity and water transport capacity (J_v) did not change upon SW transfer, whereas middle intestinal Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activity increased 35% after transfer and was correlated with an increase in J_v (110%). As salinity induced only minor changes in the osmoregulatory organs examined, it is proposed that the intrinsic euryhalinity of the striped bass may be related to a high degree of “preparedness” for hypoosmoregulation that is uncommon among teleosts studied to data.  相似文献   

Osmoregulation in the mudskipper,Boleophthalmus boddaerti II. transepithelial potential and hormonal control     

C.G.L. Lee  W.P. Low  T.J. Lam  A.D. Munro  Y.K. Ip 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》1991,9(1):69-75

Boleophthalmus boddaerti submerged in 10%, 50% and 80% seawater (sw) for 7 days, had whole body transepithelial potentials (TEP) of 3.3, 18.3 and 22.9 mV, respectively. Hypophysectomy significantly decreased the TEP ofB. boddaerti and reversed the polarity of the TEP of the fish exposed to 10% sw.Hypophysectomy also significantly decreased the branchial Na⁺-K⁺ activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase) activity but increased the activity of branchial HCO₃ ^–-Cl^– stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (HCO₃ ^–,Cl^–-ATPase) inB. boddaerti exposed to 10% sw. However, survival in 10% sw was not significantly impaired by hypophysectomy and no significant change in plasma osmolality and plasma Na⁺ and Cl^– concentrations was observed.Various doses of ovine-prolactin or salmon-prolactin were unable to restore the TEP of hypophysectomizedB. boddaerti in 10% sw to that of the sham-operated fish. However, cortisol increased TEP to a positive value in hypophysectomizedB. boddaerti, though it was still lower than the sham-operated control. Cortisol treatment also affected the plasma osmolality, plasma Na⁺ and Cl^– contents and branchial Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase and HCO₃ ^–,Cl^–-ATPase activities. Overall, the hormonal control of osmoregulation inB. boddaerti appeared to differ from that of other teleosts.  相似文献   

Influence of cortisol, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor I and 3,3′,5-triiodo-l-thyronine on hypoosmoregulatory ability in the euryhaline teleost Fundulus heteroclitus     

J.M. Mancera  S.D. McCormick 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》1999,21(1):25-33

The capacity of cortisol, ovine growth hormone (oGH), recombinant bovine insulin-like growth factor I (rbIGF-I) and 3,3,5-triiodo-l-thyronine (T₃) to increase hypoosmoregulatory capacity in the euryhaline teleost Fundulus heteroclitus was examined. Fish acclimated to brackish water (BW, 10 ppt salinity) were injected with a single dose of hormone suspended in oil and transferred to seawater (SW, 35 ppt salinity) 10 days post-injection. Fish were sampled 24 h after transfer and plasma osmolality and gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity were examined. Transfer from BW to SW induced significantly increased plasma osmolality but not gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity. Cortisol (50 g g^–1 body weight) improved the ability to maintain plasma osmolality and to increase gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity. oGH (5 g g^–1 body weight) also increased hypoosmoregulatory ability and gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity. A cooperation between oGH and cortisol was observed in increasing hypoosmoregulatory ability but not in increasing gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity. rbIGF-I (0.5 g g^–1 body weight) alone was without effect in increasing salinity tolerance or gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity. rbIGF-I and oGH showed a positive interaction in increasing salinity tolerance, but not gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity. Treatment with T₃ (5 g g^–1 body weight) alone did not increase salinity tolerance or gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity, and there was no consistent significant interaction between cortisol and T₃ or between GH and T₃. The results confirm the classical role of cortisol as a seawater-adapting hormone and indicate an interaction between cortisol and the GH/IGF-I axis during seawater acclimation of Fundulus heteroclitus.  相似文献   

Effects of sulfide on K+ flux pathways in red blood cells of crucian carp and rainbow trout     

S. Völkel  M. Berenbrink  N. Heisler  M. Nikinmaa 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》2001,24(3):213-223

The effect of sulfide on K⁺ influx pathways was measured in red blood cells (RBCs) of sulfide-sensitive rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and sulfide-tolerant crucian carp (Carassius carassius). In trout RBCs, maximal inhibition of Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase was attained at 10 mol l^–1 sulfide and amounted to 32% without being influenced by pH between 6.7 and 8.3. Ouabain-resistant K⁺ influx in the absence and presence of sulfide was insignificant at pH values between 6.7 and 7.7. At higher pH values ouabain-resistant K⁺ influx increased, but was inhibited to about 15% by 30 mol l^–1 sulfide. In RBCs of crucian carp neither Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase nor ouabain-resistant K⁺ influx were affected by sulfide concentrations up to 850 mol l^–1. Differences in sulfide-sensitivity of K⁺ influx between both species can be based upon different properties of the membrane transporter themselves. The reduced Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity in trout RBCs may also result from a slightly reduced (by 9%) ATP level after sulfide exposure. In addition, intracellular sulfide concentrations were higher in trout RBCs as compared to crucian carp. In trout, intracellular sulfide concentrations reached extracellular levels within 5 min of incubation whereas sulfide concentrations in crucian carp RBCs remained about 2-fold lower than extracellular concentrations. Although the physiological basis of sulfide-insensitive K⁺ influx in crucian carp RBCs is currently unknown it may contribute to the extremely high sulfide-tolerance of this species.  相似文献   

盐度对珍珠龙胆石斑鱼幼鱼渗透调节与耗氧率的影响     

刘龙龙  罗鸣  陈傅晓  谭围  刘金叶  王永波  符书源  刘洪涛 《中国水产科学》2020,27(6):692-700

为研究盐度对珍珠龙胆石斑鱼（）渗透调节与耗氧率的影响,设计实验一,将（162.5±12.1）g珍珠龙胆石斑鱼置于不同盐度（6、12、18、24、30）下养殖10 d,测定血清渗透压及Na⁺、Cl^-、K⁺离子浓度。实验结果表明,随盐度的升高血清渗透压及Na⁺、Cl^-、K⁺离子浓度也随着升高,各组[Na⁺]：[Cl^-]比值无显著差异（>0.05）;经回归分析得到血清等渗点渗透压为365.95 mOsm/kg,所对应盐度为12.75。实验二,将（26.4±2.7）g幼鱼置于不同盐度（6、12、18、24、30）下养殖30 d,测定在开始暴露后0 h、3 h、24 h、72 h鳃Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase活性及表达和第30天耗氧率,结果表明鳃Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase活性随盐度的增大呈“U”形变化;鳃Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase α1基因表达量波动较大,在72 h后随盐度增大先降低后增加,变化趋势与酶活性一致;第30天耗氧率随盐度的增加先降低后增加又降低。综上所述,珍珠龙胆石斑鱼幼鱼10 d内能够完全适应6~30盐度急性变化,耗氧率除了受离子渗透调节的影响,还可能与其生活史阶段有关。  相似文献   

Osmoregulation in juvenile Chinese sturgeon (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Acipenser sinensis</Emphasis> Gray) during brackish water adaptation     

Xugang He  Ping Zhuang  Longzhen Zhang  Congxin Xie 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》2009,35(2):223-230

The osmoregulation capabilities of 7-month-old juvenile Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis Gray) (128.8 ± 15 g) transferred directly from fresh water (0‰, 46 mOsmol kg⁻¹) to brackish water (10‰, 273 mOsmol kg⁻¹) were studied over a 20-day period. Changes in serum osmolarity, chloride (Cl⁻), sodium (Na⁺), potassium (K⁺) and calcium (Ca²⁺) ion concentrations, as well as gill and spiral valve Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activities were measured at 3, 12, 24, 72, 216 and 480 h after transfer to BW. The serum osmolarity and ion concentrations (Na⁺, Cl⁻ and Ca²⁺) increased immediately after the transference to BW, reaching maximum at 24 h and returned to a new steady state at 216 h, while the FW control group maintained basal levels which showed lower (P < 0.05) than the BW group. Gill Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activity of BW group exhibited an abrupt decrease in the first 3 h after transfer, but began to increase at 3 h, reaching a peak value at 24 h, and returned to a new steady state at 216 h. The differences between gill Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activity of BW and FW fish were significant (P < 0.05) after 12 h. In contrast, Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activity of the spiral valve showed transient increase after transference from FW to BW, and then decreased rapidly at 3 h, reaching the lowest at 24 h after transference. At 216 h after exposure to BW, Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase activities of the spiral valve increased slowly to the levels of FW control. The results of our study indicate the existence of hyposmoregulatory adaptive mechanisms in 7-month-old juvenile Chinese sturgeon which enable this fish to acclimate itself successfully to brackish water.  相似文献   

The effect of dietary sodium chloride on some osmoregulatory parameters of the teleost, Oreochromis niloticus, after transfer from freshwater to seawater   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

A. Fontaínhas-Fernandes  F. Russell-Pinto  Emídio Gomes  Ma.A. Reis-Henriques  João Coimbra 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》2000,23(4):307-316

The aim of this work was to determine the effects of supplemental dietary sodium chloride on salt water acclimation of tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. Fish were fed a basal diet supplemented with NaCl (8%) during three weeks in fresh water (FW) and then transferred to salt water (SW) at 15 and 20. Changes in plasma osmolality, chloride ion concentration (Cl^–), plasma level of cortisol and gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity were measured at 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 168 h after transfer to 15SW, while the higher strength SW group (20) was only monitored up to 24 h. Morphological changes in the gill mitochondria-rich (MR) cells were examined in relation to environmental salinity. The changes associated with dietary NaCl were sporadic and of small magnitude. The plasma osmolality and Cl^– increased immediately after transfer up to 12–24 h, but fish fed dietary salt (S) showed lower values than the control group (C). The S group showed higher plasma levels of cortisol than the control, which maintained its initial levels during the experiment. Gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity of the S group began to increase in the first hours after transfer, reaching maximum at 12 h and returned to basal level at 24 h, while the control group maintained basal levels. The differences between gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity of S and C fish were significant (p < 0.05) at 12 h. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that MR cells in SW show more mitochondria and a more developed tubular system arising from the basolateral membrane. The MR cells of both groups frequently formed a multicellular complex in SW, consisting of a main MR and one or more accessory cells. Such complexes are rarely observed in FW. Some MR cells of fish fed supplemented dietary salt displayed convex apical membrane in FW.  相似文献   

Enhanced hypoosmoregulatory response to growth hormone after cortisol treatment in immature rainbow trout,Salmo gairdneri     

Steffen S. Madsen 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》1990,8(4):271-279

The growth-independent effect of ovine growth hormone (oGH) and oGH + cortisol treatment on seawater (SW) adaptation in immature rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri was investigated. Fish were injected every second day with saline, 2.0 μg oGH/g or 2.0 μg oGH + 8.0 μg cortisol/g for a maximum of 8 injections in freshwater (FW). Subgroups were transferred to 28‰ SW after 4 or 8 injections, and changes in plasma Na⁺ and Cl⁻, muscle water content and gill Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity were measured. In both of the hormone-treated groups retained in FW, gill Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity and interlamellar chloride cell density increased. The effects were most pronounced in the oGH + cortisol group after 2 weeks of treatment. After transfer to SW most of the control fish died due to the osmotic stress, whereas in the hormone-treated groups, mortality was low and there was a positive correlation between pretransfer gill Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase and the ability to maintain ionic-osmotic homeostasis after SW transfer. After two weeks of oGH + cortisol treatment, gill Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity was maximal. In contrast, after SW transfer, Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity increased further in the oGH-treated group. This group regulated ionic-osmotic parameters less effectively than the oGH + cortisol-treated group. The data indicate that GH and cortisol are important hormones in the regulation of hypoosmoregulatory mechanisms in S. gairdneri.  相似文献   

盐度胁迫对三疣梭子蟹鳃Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase酶活的影响   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0  

江山  许强华 《水产学报》2011,35(10):1475-1480

通过钼蓝法测定三疣梭子蟹在3组实验盐度的胁迫过程中第2对和第6对鳃Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase酶活的变化,比较了3组实验盐度胁迫1 d时,鳃Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase的酶活大小。结果表明,在盐度胁迫初期,3组实验盐度下第2对和第6对鳃Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase的酶活下降;之后,各组实验盐度下第2对和第6对鳃Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase的酶活开始随胁迫时间增长而上升;最后,各组实验盐度下第2和第6对鳃Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase的酶活下降并趋于稳定。另外,胁迫1 d时,各组实验盐度下三疣梭子蟹前5对鳃Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase的酶活显著低于后3对鳃Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase的酶活。三疣梭子蟹对盐度变化的调节可分为被动应激期(酶活力下降)、主动调节期(酶活力逐渐上升)和适应期(酶活力稳定);三疣梭子蟹后3对鳃是离子转运、渗透压调节的主要部位。  相似文献   

Characterization of transport Na+-ATPases in gills of freshwater tilapia     

Dr. Paul Balm  Nico Goossen  Sjef van de Rijke  Sjoerd Wendelaar Bonga 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》1988,5(1):31-38

Branchial plasma membranes from the freshwater cichlid teleostOreochromis mossambicus (tilapia) contain two Na⁺-dependent ATPases: Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase, and an amiloride-sensitive ATPase which is postulated to operate as a Na⁺/H⁺ (–NH₄ ⁺) ATPase. It is suggested that both enzyme activities are located in the basolateral membrane system of the chloride cells. K⁺ has opposing effects on the two enzymes: it stimulates Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase and inhibits Na⁺/H⁺ (–NH₄ ⁺) ATPase activity. Na⁺/H⁺ ATPase appears more sensitive to NH₄ ⁺ at low concentrations than Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase and the stimulatory effect by NH₄ ⁺ ions on the first enzyme could be important in facilitating NH₄ ⁺ excretion by tilapia gills under physiological conditions.In vitro maximum stimulation by NH₄ ⁺ is similar for the two enzymes (200%). In contrast to Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase, Na⁺/H⁺ ATPase activity is inhibited by supra-physiological (>20 mM) concentrations of NH₄ ⁺.  相似文献   

Gill Na+-K+ ATPase, carbonic anhydrase activities and plasma osmotic and ionic variations during smoltification of Atlantic salmon in the north of Portugal     

M. A. Reis-Henriques  L. Silva  J. Coimbra 《Aquaculture International》1996,4(2):117-128

Gill Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase and carbonic anhydrase activities were measured, on a fortnightly basis, from February to July, in 0₊ age Atlantic salmon (Salmo solar), hatched and reared in a freshwater experimental station in Covas, northern Portugal. Plasma osmolarity and ionic composition were also measured. Gill Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase activity increased slowly until April (15–19 moles Pi mg prot^–1 h^–1). From April to late May there was a great increase in activity (19–32 moles Pi mg prot^–1 h^–1) followed by a sharp decline in June (15 moles Pi mg prot^–1 h^–1). In contrast, carbonic anhydrase activity decreased significantly from early April to early June (170-70 moles p-nitrophenol mg prot^–1 h^–1) and increased in late June, suggesting the existence of a compensatory mechanism for the changes in Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase activity. Plasma osmolarity and sodium concentration showed lower levels during the period of high ATPase activity. On the other hand, plasma calcium concentrations showed an increase during the same period (3.47–5.98 mm1^–1 of plasma). A transitory decrease in osmolarity and plasma sodium and chlorine concentrations occurred in March, prior to the surge in Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase activity, suggesting that the physiological changes, characteristic of parr-smolt transformation can be a consequence of this loss of freshwater osmoregulatory capacity.  相似文献   

Sodium dependent ion transporters in trout gills     

G. Flik  T. Kaneko  A.M. Greco  J. Li  J.C. Fenwick 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》1997,17(1-6):385-396

Biochemical procedures developed to isolate plasma membranes from the branchial epithelium of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) yield membrane fractions that are specifically enriched in the plasma membrane marker enzyme Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase. As the bulk of the branchial Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase is assumed to be confined to the mitochondria-rich chloride cells, such membrane preparations must contain the essence of the enzymatic machinery of the chloride cells. Basal Na⁺ activity in branchial (chloride) cells is around 10 millimolar and, accordingly, we find a K_m for Na⁺ of the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase of 13 millimolar, indicating that the enzyme may be regulated by changes in cytosolic sodium. The Na⁺-gradient across the serosal plasma membrane created by this pump provides energy for 3Na⁺/Ca²⁺-exchange and bumetanide-sensitive Na⁺/K⁺/2Cl^--cotransport. Here we further postulate the presence of a Na⁺/Cl^--cotransporter, indicated by thiazide-sensitive, bumetanide-insensitive transport of Na⁺ and Cl^-; this cotransporter activity awaits the characterization of its kinetics. The Na⁺/Ca²⁺-exchanger has kinetic characteristics compatible with a regulatory role of cytosolic Na⁺ in the activity of this carrier. Both Na⁺/Ca²⁺-exchange and Ca²⁺-ATPase activity may contribute to transport of Ca²⁺, the former having lower affinity for calcium but a higher capacity than the latter carrier. The Na⁺/K⁺/2Cl^--cotransporter has kinetics that favor a regulatory role for plasma K⁺ in the activity of this carrier. Seawater adaptation leads to increased activity of cotransporter molecules in the plasma membrane fractions (the activity increases relative to that of the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase) and this may reflect a function in Cl^--extrusion performed by the chloride cells in a seawater environment. A function for the cotransporter in the gills of freshwater fish may be the regulation of cell volume.  相似文献   

Response of rainbow trout gill (Na++K+)-ATPase and chloride cells to T3 and NaCl administration     

Fabiana Trombetti  Vittoria Ventrella  Alessandra Pagliarani  Rodolfo Ballestrazzi  Marco Galeotti  Gianni Trigari  Maurizio Pirini  Anna Rosa Borgatti 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》1996,15(3):265-274

With the aim of comparing the effects of oral T₃ and NaCl administration on trout hypoosmoregulatory mechanisms, three groups of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) held in freshwater (FW) were fed a basal diet (C), the same diet containing 8.83 ppm of 3,5,3-triiodo-L-thyronine (T₃) (T) or 10% (w/w) NaCl (N) respectively for 30 d. They were then transferred to brackish water (BW) for 22 d and fed on diet C. Gill (Na⁺+K⁺)-ATPase activity and its dependence on ATP, Na⁺ and pH, number of gill chloride cells (CC), serum T₃ level as well as fish growth, condition factor (K) and mortality were evaluated. During the FW phase, as compared to C trout, T trout showed a two fold higher serum T₃ level, had unchanged gill (Na⁺+K⁺)-ATPase activity and increased CC number, whereas N trout showed higher gill (Na⁺+K⁺)-ATPase activity and CC number. At the end of the experiment the enzyme activity was in the order T>N>C groups and all groups showed similar CC number. Both treatments changed the enzyme activation kinetics by ATP and Na⁺. A transient increase in K value occurred in N group during the period of salt administration. In BW, T and N groups had higher and lower survival than C group respectively. Other parameters were unaffected by the treatments. This trial suggests that T₃ administration promotes the development of hypoosmoregulatory mechanisms of trout but it leaves the (Na⁺+K⁺)-ATPase activity unaltered till the transfer to a hyperosmotic environment.  相似文献   

Osmoregulation in juvenile Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii)     

A. Rodríguez  M.A. Gallardo  E. Gisbert  S. Santilari  A. Ibarz  J. Sánchez  F. Castelló-Orvay 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》2002,26(4):345-354

The osmoregulation capabilities of juvenile Siberian sturgeon exposed to three experimental osmolalities (22, 250 and 387 mOsmol kg⁻¹) were studied over a 45-day period. Growth performance, haematological parameters, ion concentrations, gill and spiral valve Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activities, as well as gill and spiral valve histology, were measured. At the end of the period, the plasma osmolality of fish kept in 250 and 387 mOsmol kg⁻¹ was higher than that of fish kept in 22 mOsmol kg⁻¹. Similar trends were observed in electrolyte concentrations. Spiral valve and gill Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity varied with exposure time and environmental salinity. Shortly after being transferred to hyperosmotic media, spiral valve Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity fell, while gill Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity remained constant. At the end of the experiment, gill Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activities in fish kept in isosmotic and hyperosmotic media had increased in comparison to those of the control fish. Moreover, spiral valve Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activities recovered and were similar to those recorded in fish kept in hyposmotic environments. Although some of the morpho-physiological mechanisms were operational in juvenile Siberian sturgeon in their adaptation to hyperosmotic media, fish cannot be considered hyperosmotic regulators as they were unable to maintain their plasma osmolality and electrolyte equilibrium in salinities higher than 250 mOsmol kg⁻¹. This suggests that the culture of juvenile Siberian sturgeon in brackish environments is unlikely to be successful. However, our data indicate that in natural environments, juvenile Siberian sturgeon in migratory populations (Ob and Lena Rivers) would be able to migrate successfully into estuarine brackish grounds with a salinity of up to 9%. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

Effects of Na/K and Mg/Ca ratios in saline groundwaters on Na-K-ATPase activity, survival and growth of Marsupenaeus japonicus postlarvae     

Lu-Qing Pan  Zhi-Hua Luan  Cai-Xia Jin 《Aquaculture (Amsterdam, Netherlands)》2006,261(4):1396-1402

The effects of the Na⁺/K⁺ and Mg²⁺/Ca²⁺ ratios in saline groundwaters on Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity, survival and growth of Marsupenaeus japonicus postlarvae were investigated. The results indicate that the Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity, survival rate and weight gain of postlarvae were significantly affected by the Na⁺/K⁺ and Mg²⁺/Ca²⁺ ratios (P < 0.05). The Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity of postlarvae, in every treatment, changed corresponding to Na⁺/K⁺ and Mg²⁺/Ca²⁺ ratios, and came to a stable level after 24 h. There was a negative relation between Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity and Na⁺/K⁺ ratio, while there was a positive relation between Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity and Mg²⁺/Ca²⁺ ratio. Compared with seawater (the Na⁺/K⁺ and Mg²⁺/Ca²⁺ ratios are 27.8 and 4.64 respectively), the Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity of the Na⁺/K⁺ ratio 30 treatment showed no significant difference, while the Mg²⁺/Ca²⁺ ratio 4.5 treatment showed distinct difference. The survival rates and weight gain of postlarvae increased markedly when the suitable amount of K⁺ and Ca²⁺ was added to test water, and arrived at their maximum in the Na⁺/K⁺ ratio 20-30 or Mg²⁺/Ca²⁺ ratio 4.5 treatment, having no significant difference compared with normal seawater. Therefore, considering the Na⁺/K⁺, Mg²⁺/Ca²⁺ ratios and the absolute concentration of Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺ in the experimental saline groundwaters applied to Marsupenaeus japonicus farming, it should be modulated to around 30, 4.5 and 1312 mg/l, 291 mg/l, respectively.  相似文献   

Lipid composition and microsomal ATPase activities in gills and kidneys of warm- and cold-acclimated sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.)     

V. Ventrella  A. Pagliarani  M. Pirini  G. Trigari  F. Trombetti  A. R. Borgatti 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》1993,12(4):293-304

The response to cold of gill and kidney membrane lipid composition and microsomal (Na⁺+K⁺)-ATPase, Na⁺-ATPase and Mg²⁺-ATPase activities in reared sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) was investigated. Fish acclimation was carried out according to the seasonal cycle from August to March. No cold-promoted increase in fatty acid unsaturation was shown in gill and kidney polar lipids and in total lipids of mitochondria and microsomes. In both tissues the (Na⁺+K⁺)-ATPase exhibited positive compensation for cold acclimation whereas the Na⁺-ATPase displayed negative compensation. The Mg²⁺-ATPase showed no compensation in the gills and positive compensation in the kidneys. During cold acclimation the break in the Arrhenius plot of the (Na⁺+K⁺)-ATPase decreased, whereas breaks of both the Na⁺-ATPase and the Mg²⁺-ATPase activities remained unchanged. The results indicate that the sea bass does not adopt membrane unsaturation as a cold-facing strategy. The cold-promoted enhancement of (Na⁺+K⁺)-ATPase activity in osmoregulatory tissues may be advantageous to maintain efficient osmoregulation under thermodynamically unfavourable conditions.  相似文献   

Quantification of presumptive Na+/H+ antiporters of the erythrocytes of trout and eel     

Scott D. Reid  Steve F. Perry 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》1994,12(6):455-463

The presumptive Na⁺/H⁺ exchange sites of trout and eel erythrocytes were quantified using amiloride-displaceable 5-(N-methyl-N-[³H]isobutyl)-amiloride (³H-MIA) equilibrium binding to further evaluate the mechanisms of i) hypoxia-mediated modifications in the trout erythrocyte -adrenergic signal transduction system and ii) the marked differences in the catecholamine responsiveness of this system between the trout and eel. MIA was a more potent inhibitor of both trout apparent erythrocyte proton extrusion (IC₅₀ = 20.1 ± 1.1 mol l^–1, N = 6) activity (as evaluated by measuring plasma pH changes after addition of catecholamine in vitro) and specific ³H-MIA binding (IC₅₀ = 257 ± 8.2 nmol l^–1, N = 3) than amiloride, which possessed a proton extrusion IC₅₀ of 26.1 ± 1.6 mol l^–1 (N = 6) and a binding IC₅₀ of 891 ± 113 nmol l^–1 (N = 3). The specific Na⁺ channel blocker phenamil was without effect on adrenergic proton extrusion activity or specific ³H-MIA binding. Trout erythrocytes suspended in Na⁺-free saline and maintained under normoxic conditions possessed 37,675 ± 6,678 (N = 6) amiloride-displaceable ³H-MIA binding sites per cell (B_max, presumptive Na⁺/H⁺ antiporters) with an apparent dissociation constant (K_D) of 244 ± 29 nmol l^–1 (N = 6). Acute hypoxia (PO₂ = 1.2 kPa; 30 min) did not affect the K_D, yet resulted in a 65% increase in the number of presumptive Na⁺/H⁺ antiporters. Normoxic eel erythrocytes, similarly suspended in Na⁺-free saline, possessed only 17,133 ± 3,716 presumptive Na⁺/H⁺ antiporters (N = 6), 45% of that of trout erythrocytes, with a similar K_D (246 ± 41 nmol l^–1, N = 6). These findings suggest that inter- and intra-specific differences in the responsiveness of the teleost erythrocyte -adrenergic signal transduction system can be explained, in part, by differences in the numbers of Na⁺/H⁺ exchange sites.  相似文献   

Mitochondrial enzyme and Na+, K+-ATPase activity,and ion regulation during parr-smolt transformation of Atlantic salmon (Salmon salar)

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to either simulated natural photoperiod (SNP) or continuous light (L24) were used to examine developmental changes in the presence and absence, respectively, of the parrsmolt transformation. Plasma osmolarity and ion concentrations were unaffected by photoperiod treatment. Gill Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase specific activity increased 150% between February and June in SNP fish and was low and unchanged in L24 fish. Kidney Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase specific activity varied within similar, narrow limits in both groups. Citrate synthase of liver, gill and kidney, expressed as specific activity or activity/g total body weight (relative activity), increased 25–60% between March and June in SNP fish. With the exception of kidney relative activity, citrate synthase activity declined to initial (March) levels by August. Liver, gill and kidney cytochrome c oxidase activity of the SNP group underwent similar though less marked changes. Liver, gill and kidney citrate synthase and cytochrome c oxidase activities of the L24 group remained relatively constant between March and August, and where significant differences occurred, they were lower than those of the SNP group. These results indicate that respiratory capacities of the liver, gill and kidney increase in smolls concurrent with preparatory osmoregulatory changes, and subsequently decline. The findings are consistent with a hypothesized transient increase in catabolic activity during the parr-smolt transformation that may be due to the metabolic demands of differentiation.  相似文献
