Disease relevance of Anomura

• 1. A study was performed of the L-glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and acetylcholine (ACh) responses of cells in the stomatogastric ganglion of the crab, Cancer pagurus [1].
• Toxicity of cadmium, lead, and zinc to larval stages of Lithodes santolla (Decapoda, Anomura) [2].

High impact information on Anomura

• To identify this neuropeptide, a bioassay was developed which measures the inhibition of methyl farnesoate synthesis by mandibular organs exposed to fractionated sinus gland extracts from the crab, Cancer pagurus [3].
• We examine the relationship between the power expended by attacking hermit crabs and their consequent lactate levels [4].
• In the crab Cancer pagurus, two neuropeptides (MO-IH-1 and -2) have been isolated from the SG that inhibit MF synthesis by mandibular organs of female crabs in vitro [5].
• We tested this by analysing the concentrations of lactate and glucose in the haemolymph of hermit crabs following agonistic interactions over the ownership of the gastropod shells that they inhabit [6].
• Synapsin-like immunoreactivity was also studied in the crab Cancer pagurus and the lobster Homarus americanus [7].

Biological context of Anomura

• Involvement of adenosine cyclic-3',5'-monophosphate in the signal transduction pathway of mandibular organ-inhibiting hormone of the edible crab, Cancer pagurus [8].

Anatomical context of Anomura

• The effect of tetramethylenedisulphotetramine (TETS) on the increase in membrane conductance produced by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the hermit crab neuromuscular junction was investigated [9].

Associations of Anomura with chemical compounds

• Occurrence of cadmium in crabs (Cancer pagurus) and the isolation and properties of cadmium metallothionein [10].
• Intracellular recordings of the depolarization in response to ionophoretic application of L-glutamate were made from the opener muscle of the Hermit crab (Eupagurus bernhardus) [11].
• A pharmacological analysis was made of the depolarizing acetylcholine (ACh) response found on the gastric mill I muscles of the crabs Cancer pagurus, Cancer irroratus and Cancer borealis [12].
• Deoxyribonucleic acid of Cancer pagurus. IV. Elution behaviour on hydroxyapatite chromatographic column [13].
• On the other hand crab (Cancer pagurus) satellite and crab non-satellite DNAs containing varying amounts of (dA-dT)n.(dA-dT)n sequences were shown to undergo a B-X transition, at least partly, in both methanol-water mixtures and 6 M CsF solutions [14].

Gene context of Anomura

• Using the edible crab, Cancer pagurus, sites of CPRP synthesis were determined by immunohistochemistry and release patterns of both peptides were determined in vivo and in vitro by radioimmunoassay of haemolymph and eyestalk superfusates [15].
