The absence of DNA from the blood serum of the toad Bufo arenarum was confirmed by classical colorimetric techniques and by a new method which allows differentiation between DNA and the glycosaminoglycans (GAG). A component of serum which had some of the properties of DNA was identified as a GAG. Th

## Abstract Yolk platelets, the principal components of amphibian oocytes, have been generally considered as material reservoirs. Their biochemical composition and function during oogenesis and early development have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to carry out a lipidic charac
Progesterone induces the resumption of meiosis in Bufo arenarum full-grown arrested oocytes through a nongenomic mechanism called meiotic maturation. Growing evidence indicates that lipids are involved in the maturation process. They are mainly located in yolk platelets, the principal organelles of
## Abstract In this study, two electrode voltage clamp technique was used to assess the ionic current of oocytes of the South American toad __Bufo arenarum__ and to study the dependence of these currents on the extracellular and intracellular Ca^2+^ concentrations. Ca^2+^ chelators, ionomycin –a ca
The yolk platelets from Rhodnius prolixus, a blood-sucking bug, are composed mostly of vitellin and here are shown to contain at least two hydrolytic enzymes, a phosphatase and a cathepsin D-like proteinase. Both the proteinase and the phosphatase have an acid p H optimum. No hydrolytic activity was
