โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
Active transport of chloride in the salt secreting rectal gland of the dogfish Squalus acanthias is markedly stimulated by the addition of theophylline (0.01 to 5 mM) or dibutyryl cyclic AMP (0.05 mM) during in vitro perfusion. The effect occurs promptly and may persist for two hours. Specific hormonal effectors have not yet been identified. The isolated perfused rectal gland thus offers a unique opportunity to examine the cellular mechanisms of active chloride secretion.

## Abstract An intraperitoneal injection of the ฮฒโadrenergic agonist dlโisoproterenol hydrochloride (100 mg/Kg body weight) into a rat caused an early, very large (400โfold) cyclic AMP surge (peaking at 10 minutes) in the parotid gland which was followed by a second, much smaller (twoโfold) surge 1
The heavy metal cadmium causes nephrotoxicity and alters the transport function of epithelial cells. In the shark rectal gland, chloride secretion is regulated by secretagogues and inhibitors acting through receptors coupled to G proteins and the cyclic AMP-protein kinase A pathway. We examined the

The human GSTP1 gene is frequently over-expressed in many human cancers and the expression increases with tumor progression and is associated with a more aggressive biology, poor patient survival, and resistance to therapy. The molecular regulation of the human GSTP1 gene during malignancy is, howev
