This study was designed to examine the biochemical basis of lipid alterations in liver, kidney, and intestine of sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, during their nontrophic metamorphosis. Lipolysis, as indicated by triacylglycerol lipase (TGL) activity, increased in liver from larva to stage 6 and in k

We measured microsomal low-K m outer-ring deiodination (ORD) and inner-ring deiodination (IRD) activities for thyroxine (T 4 ) and 3,5,3โฒ-triiodothyronine (T 3 ) in intestine and liver in nonmetamorphosing (undersized) larvae, immediately premetamorphic larvae, animals in stages 1-7 of metamorphosis
In larval sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus), a small, relatively inconspicuous olfactory organ sac contains small, densely packed olfactory receptor neurons and sustentacular cells. During metamorphosis, the larval organ transforms into a prominent lamellar structure with large distinct olfactory ep
