Synthesis and secretion of corticotropins, melanotropins, and endorphins by rat intermediate pituitary cells.

TL;DR: With rat intermediate pituitary cells, pulse-chase experiments utilizing [35S]methionine demonstrated almost quantitative conversion of the 30K precursor into labeled proteins similar to beta-endorphin and alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone.

Intercellular Communication: Renal, Urinary Bladder, Sensory, and Salivary Gland Cells.

TL;DR: In four epithelial cell systems (salivary gland, renal, urinary bladder, and sensory cells) cells are interconnected as far as much of their ion content is concerned, at least three epithelia is associated with the presence of certain close-junctional membrane complexes.

The effects of dehydration on electrolyte concentrations in a toad, bufo marinus

TL;DR: The retention of water by tissues during dehydration is apparently associated with their uptake of electrolytes, and the sum of the concentrations of sodium and potassium in tissue water is increased in dehydrated toads according to the same relationship found for plasma sodium.

The theory of measurement of osmotic pressure

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply Onsager's symmetry relations to the process of diffusion of a solution through a membrane and show that measured osmotic pressures deviate from those calculated thermodynamically in proportion to the permeability of the membrane to the solute molecules.

The Contributions of Diffusion and Flow to the Passage of D2O through Living Membranes.: Effect of Neurohypophysenl Hormone 011 Isolated Anuran Skin.

TL;DR: The results are consistent with the assumption that neurohypophyseal hormone increases the pore size in some layer of the skin without increasing the total area available to diffusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active sodium transport by the isolated toad bladder.

TL;DR: The short-circuit current of the isolated toad bladder was regularly stimulated with pure oxytocin and vasopressin when applied to the serosal surface under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
