Abstract
- [Tyrosine, octopamine, tryptophan, serotonin, putrescine, spermidine, spermine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine were measured by means of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in gills (anterior and posterior) and haemolymph extracts of the freshwater Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis. These results may be considered as basic data to be used as control physiological doses, to which to refer for injection or for in vitro perfusion experiments. No significant difference has been detected between anterior respiratory and posterior salttransporting gills. After 10 days acclimation to sea water, a significant increase of haemolymph norepinephrine and dopamine has been observed. Exposure to hydrostatic pressure (101 ATA for 5 hours) also results in an octopamine increase in the haemolymph. In addition, there is a tryptophan increase in both the anterior and the posterior gills. Results are discussed in terms of possible correlations of the concentrations of polyamines, indoleamines, and catecholamines with osmoregulation and behaviour. Les concentrations en tyrosine, octopamine, tryptophane, serotonine, putrescine, spermidine, spermine, norepinephrine, epinephrine et dopamine d'extraits branchiaux (branchies anterieures et posterieures) et hemolymphatiques ont ete mesurees en chromatographie liquide a haute performance chez le crabe chinois Eriocheir sinensis d'eau douce dans le but, notamment, de disposer de valeurs de reference a utiliser comme niveaux physiologiques controles auxquels se referer lors d'experiences d'injection ou de perfusions in vitro. Aucune difference significative n'a ete detectee entre les branchies anterieures "respiratoires" et les branchies posterieures "transportrices de sels". A l'issue de 10 jours d'acclimatement a l'eau de mer, on assiste a une augmentation significative de la norepinephrine et de la dopamine hemolymphatiques. De meme, une exposition de 5 heures a 101 ATA de pression hydrostatique aboutit a une augmentation de l'octopamine hemolymphatique. On assiste, par ailleurs aussi, a un accroissement de la concentration en tryptophane dans les deux types de branchies. Les correlations possibles entre les concentrations en polyamines, indolamines, catecholamines ainsi que l'osmoregulation et le comportement sont l'objet d'une discussion approfondie., Tyrosine, octopamine, tryptophan, serotonin, putrescine, spermidine, spermine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine were measured by means of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in gills (anterior and posterior) and haemolymph extracts of the freshwater Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis.
