The fish gill is a multipurpose organ that, in addition to providing for aquatic gas exchange,
plays dominant roles in osmotic and ionic regulation, acid-base regulation, and excretion of …

Compared to terrestrial animals, fish have to cope with more-challenging osmotic and ionic
gradients from aquatic environments with diverse salinities, ion compositions, and pH …

The secondary active Cl− secretion in seawater (SW) teleost fish gills and elasmobranch
rectal gland involves basolateral Na+, K+‐ATPase and NKCC, apical membrane CFTR …

We identified five Na+/K+-ATPase α-isoforms in rainbow trout and characterized their
expression pattern in gills following seawater transfer. Three of these isoforms were closely …

This study examines changes in gill Na+, K+-ATPase (NKA) α-and β-subunit isoforms, Na+,
K+, 2Cl-cotransporter (NKCC) and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator …

Teleosts are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, and many species undergo
morphological, physiological, and behavioral transitions,“metamorphoses,” as they progress …

To evaluate the genotoxic, physiological and immunological effects of short-term acute low
temperature stress on the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, we rapidly …

Abstract Thyroxine (T 4) and triiodothyronine (T 3), the principal thyroid hormones (THs)
secreted from the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis, produce a plethora of …

Maintenance of ion balance requires that ionoregulatory epithelia modulate ion flux in
response to internal or environmental osmotic challenges. We have explored the basis of …

The upregulation of gill Na+/K+-ATPase activity is considered critical for the successful
acclimation of salmonid fishes to seawater. The present study examines the mRNA …
