Cellular mechanisms of acid secretion in the posterior midgut of the larval mosquito (Aedes aegypti)

Journal of Experimental Biology. 213:295-300
The gut contents of larval mosquitoes are alkalinized by the anterior midgut and reacidified by the posterior midgut. In the present study the cellular mechanisms of reacidification were studied in isolated, perfused posterior midgut by measuring the

Isolated anterior midguts of larval Aedes aegypti were bathed in aerated mosquito saline containing serotonin (0.2 µmol L−1) and perfused with NaCl (100 mmol L−1). The lumen negative transepithelial voltage (Vte) was measured and luminal alkalin

Recently, Na + /K + -ATPase has been detected in the luminal membrane of the anterior midgut of larval yellow fever mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) with immunohistochemical techniques. In this study, the possible involvement of this ATPase in strong alkal

In the present study, isolated midguts of larval Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) were mounted on perfusion pipettes and bathed in high buffer mosquito saline. With low buffer perfusion saline, containing m-cresol purple, transepithelial voltage

In all life stages, the gut of the mosquito is innervated by a small number (typically 4) of central neurons immunoreactive to serotonin (SI). The serotonergic system appears to pass through metamorphosis largely intact, despite extensive remodeling

SUMMARY The present investigation studied the influence of a number of neuropeptides on semi-open preparations of the isolated and perfused anterior stomach of larval Aedes aegypti . Effects of peptides were observed on the lumen negative transepithe

The lumen-negative transepithelial voltage (V(te)) of the isolated and perfused anterior stomach of mosquito larvae (Aedes aegypti) was studied with a 'semi-open' preparation in which one end of the gut was ligated onto a perfusion pipette and the ot

Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural techniques were used to study sequelae of nerve injury in the pulmonate snail Melampus bidentatus. Either pedal or tentacle nerves were crushed, severing all axons, and recovery was monitored over 15 days. The

Loss of chelipeds in crustaceans results in severe atrophy of the major muscle responsible for lifting the limb, the anterior levator. We decided to test if this loss of mechanical load altered muscle phenotype as measured by SDS-PAGE analysis of lev

Gastropod research is providing many insights into mechanisms of neural regeneration. These observations were made possible by the pioneering work of individuals who described the nervous systems of gastropods, mapped prominent neurons and determined
