Biological context of Palaemonidae

• Sex differences in the levels of NAT activity and melatonin, which are observed in a freshwater species Macrobrachium rosenbergii, were not noticeable in the saltwater species P. monodon, at least not when they were in their subadult stage [14].
• Accumulation sites of lead phosphate reaction product consequent to Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity in gill and renal epithelia of the freshwater shrimp Macrobrachium olfersii were located ultracytochemically by para-nitrophenyl-phosphate hydrolysis and lead precipitation, and quantified per unit membrane area and cytoplasmic volume [15].

Anatomical context of Palaemonidae

• N-acetyltransferase (NAT) and melatonin were determined in the optic lobe of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man. The prawns were divided into three groups: fast-growing "jumper" males; slow-growing "laggard" males; and females [4].

• Effect of pH and Zn(2+) on subcultured muscle cells from Macrobrachium nipponense [19].

Associations of Palaemonidae with chemical compounds

• However, after absorption with primate and bird VCN-treated RBC, Macrobrachium serum exhibits high titers with untreated and pronase-treated RBC and no agglutination of VCN-treated RBC, suggesting a typical sialic acid specific lectin agglutination profile [20].
• Only in one species, the shrimp Macrobrachium rosenbergii, evidence for co-localization of FMRFamide-like with substance P-like immunoreactivity in these neurons was obtained [21].
• The chromophore composition could be determined in the eye of a small freshwater prawn, Palaemon pancidence, using 50 pmol of 11-cis-retinal and no 3-dehydroretinal [22].
• In addition to five FMRFamide-like peptides (FLPs) previously isolated from the eyestalk of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (16), three more new FLPs (Mar-FLP6-8) were identified from minor immunoreactive fractions of 5,000 eyestalk extracted in methanol/acetic acid/water: DGGRNFLRFamide, GYGDRNFLRFamide and VSHNNFLRFamide [23].
