Abstract

The response of isolated hepatocytes of Sparus aurata to hypotonic stress was studied by the aid of videometric methods with the aim to investigate the possible involvement of ATP in the regulatory volume decrease (RVD). This study confirms our previous observations showing the ability of these cells to undergo RVD. In addition, it shows that the homeostatic response was inhibited by apyrase, an ATP scavenger, thus suggesting the involvement of extracellular ATP in the RVD response. Experiments performed in the presence of ATPγS or adenosine, agonists of P(2) and P(1) receptors respectively, and in the presence of suramin or 8-PT, antagonists of P(2) and P(1) receptors respectively, suggest that ATP exerts its stimulatory effect on the homeostatic response by interacting with P(2) receptors. On the other hand, the activation of P(1) receptors by ATP metabolites produces opposite effects. In an attempt to clarify the mechanisms involved in ATP release from the cell, we performed some experiments with known inhibitors of the possible mechanisms of regulated ATP release. The results we obtained let us to suppose that the mechanism allowing the exit of ATP from the cell is verapamil sensitive suggesting the involvement of the P-gly...Continue Reading

Anthelmintics (ASM)

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.

African Trypanosomiasis

African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is an insect-borne parasitic disease of humans and other animals. It is caused by protozoa of the species Trypanosoma brucei and almost invariably progresses to death unless treated. Discover the latest research on African trypanosomiasis here.
