High impact information on Salamandra

• We used partial sequences of the cytochrome b mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gene, obtained from 76 individuals representing 45 populations of Iberian Salamandra salamandra plus 15 sequences of additional species of Salamandra and related genera, to investigate contact zones [1].
• Evidence of an alpha 2-macroglobulin-like molecule in plasma of Salamandra salamandra. Structural and functional similarity with human alpha 2-macroglobulin [2].
• Using immunocytochemical procedures and RIA tests, the presence of immunoreactive ACTH and beta-endorphin molecules in the basophils and neutrophils of urodelan amphibians (Salamandra s. salamandra, Triturus c. carnifex, Speleomantes imperialis) has been established [3].
• The biochemical results have shown that in the ethanol extracts obtained from the skin in toto and from the melanosomes, pteridines and flavins are always present and are the same as those extracted from the black skin areas of Salamandra atra aurorae [4].
• Astroglial cells in a salamander brain (Salamandra salamandra) as compared to mammals: a glial fibrillary acidic protein immunohistochemistry study [5].

Biological context of Salamandra

• The apical portion of the uterine lining of the ovoviviparous fire salamander, Salamandra salamandra, was studied by the freeze-fracture technique in conjunction with the polyene antibiotic filipin [6].
• Seasonal variations of androgens, estrogens, and progesterone in the different lobules of the testis and in the plasma of Salamandra salamandra [7].

Anatomical context of Salamandra

• Electron microscopic localization of Mg2+ -dependent adenosine triphosphatase activity in the amphibian pancreas (Salamandra salamandra L. and Rana esculenta L.) [8].
• Biochemical analysis of the different segments of the oviduct in the ovoviviparous salamander, Salamandra salamandra, reveals the monosaccharides glucose, galactose, fucose, mannose, ribose and the hexosamines glucosamine and mannosamine [9].
• The anatomical organization of the tuberal area of th posterior hypothalamus in Salamandra was investigated by the Golgi methods, SEM and TEM techniques [10].
• Fine structural localization of glucose-6-phosphatase activity in the pancreatic islets of two amphibian species (Salamandra salamandra L. and Rana esculenta L.) [11].

Associations of Salamandra with chemical compounds

• Ovarian steroid levels in Salamandra salamandra infraimmaculata during the reproductive cycle [12].
• Distribution of glycoconjugates in the lingual glands of Salamandra salamandra (L.) (Amphibia, Urodela). A histochemical study using fluorescein- and peroxidase-conjugated lectins [13].

Gene context of Salamandra

• The hepatic arginase activity of Salamandra salamandra was determined at three different stages of intra- and extrauterine larval development and at fully metamorphosed juveniles [14].
