Oocytes of 40% of Xenopus laevis frogs respond to acetylcholine (ACh). Oocytes of the majority of responders exhibit the common two-component depolarizing muscarinic response (mean amplitude of the rapid component, 54 nA). Oocytes of approximately 10% of the responders ("variant" donors) exhibit a m

Fully grown Xenopus laevis oocytes display marked morphological asymmetry. The giant cell is divided into animal (pigmented) and vegetal hemispheres. We have developed methodology aimed at easy determination of hemispheric responses to the application of acetylcholine (ACh) and determination of the
## Abstract Previous studies on bats from this laboratory have revealed the presence of exceptionally high circulating levels of glucocorticoids in two species of the subβorder Megachiroptera. In the present study, the following questions were asked: (1) what effect does the routine handling and ex
