Acid-base regulation in the Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister): effects of predicted future changes in environmental pCO2
(Marine Biology, 2013)
Rising seawater pCO2 (ocean acidification) presents a challenge for marine organisms. To counteract disturbances, many aquatic crustaceans excrete/accumulate acid-base equivalents through their gills; however, not much is ...
THE MECHANISM OF ACID-BASE REGULATION IN SEAWATER-ACCLIMATED GREEN CRABS, CARCINUS MAENAS
(Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2015)
The present study investigated acid-base regulatory mechanisms in seawater-acclimated green crabs Carcinus maenas. In seawater (32 ppt), this decapod crustacean is osmo-conforming and therefore the majority of the observed ...
Differential acid-base regulation in various gills of the green crab Carcinus maenas: Effects of elevated environmental pCO2
(Comp Biochem Physiol A, 2013)
Euryhaline decapod crustaceans possess an efficient regulation apparatus located in the gill epithelia, providing a high acclimation potential to varying environmental abiotic conditions. Even though many studies focussed ...
Sodium-hydrogen exchangers in C. elegans and their potential role in hypodermal H+ excretion, Na+ uptake, ammonia excretion and acid-base balance
(Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2017)
Cation/proton exchangers of the Cation proton antiporter 1 (CPA1) subfamily (NHEs, SLC 9) play an important role in many physiological processes, including cell volume regulation, acid-base homeostasis and ammonia excretion. ...
Ammonia excretion in Caenorhabditis elegans: Physiological and molecular characterization of the rhr-2 knock-out mutant
(Comp Biochem Physiol A, 2016)
Previous studies have shown the free living soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (N2 strain) to be ammonotelic. Ammonia excretion was suggested to take place partially via the hypodermis, involving the Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA), ...
