Disease relevance of Triturus

  • Specimens of Triturus cristatus carnifex (Laurenti), raised in 3.2 g/l solution of sodium lactate, presented hypertrophy of "lactate sensitive cells" (LSC) clustered at the vascular pole of each renal corpuscle [1].
 

High impact information on Triturus

  • This study describes analysis of this axon regeneration over time following deviation of the forearm flexor nerve in Triturus cristatus and the extensor cranialis nerve in the axolotl [2].
  • Nuclear RNP from Triturus oocytes is organized as strings of beads which can be converted into 20-nm-diameter monoparticles with mild RNase treatment or into 5-nm-thick linear fibrils with low salt treatment [3].
  • A protein equivalent of TFIIIA is not found in 5S RNA-containing RNP storage particles of Triturus oocytes [4].
  • The stimulation of both alpha and beta adrenoreceptors reduced the numbers of S+ rosettes formed by Triturus and Cynops lymphocytes, whereas a beta agonist increased and an alpha agonist decreased S+ rosette formation by Rana and Xenopus splenic lymphocytes [5].
  • In vitro nitric oxide effects on basal and gonadotropin-releasing hormone-induced gonadotropin secretion by pituitary gland of male crested newt (Triturus carnifex) during the annual reproductive cycle [6].

Associations of Triturus with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Triturus

  • In the early distal tubule of the newt Triturus vulgaris L., 1 nM arginine-vasopressin (AVP) increased water reabsorption; the fractional reabsorption of Na+ was elevated from 46.2 +/- 6.9% to 67.8 +/- 3.9% (P < 0.001), of Cl- from 52.7 +/- 6.7% to 73.1 +/- 3.5% (P < 0.001), of Mg2+ from 48.0 +/- 7.7% to 71.7 +/- 6.3% (P < 0.001) [22].
  • PCNA positivity in the telencephalic matrix areas in the adult of a newt, Triturus carnifex [23].
  • Organization of tyrosine-hydroxylase immunopositive neurons in the brain of the crested newt, Triturus cristatus carnifex [24].
  • Heterochromatic DNA in Triturus (Amphibia, Urodela) II. A centromeric satellite DNA [25].
  • These results suggest that SP downregulates gonadotropin release in both Triturus carnifex sexes [26].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Triturus

  • The distribution of neuronal and non-neuronal mRNAs for alpha7 and alpha4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits was investigated in Triturus carnifex tissues using the in situ hybridization approach [27].
  • Autoradiographic studies on Triturus alpestris regenerates treated with vitamin A palmitate for 4, 7, 11 and 14 days after amputation, reveal a considerable diminution in the percentage of cells duplicating DNA, as judged by measurements of labelling indices [28].
