A defined medium for growing defolliculated Xenopus laevis oocytes was developed by monitoring vitellogenin incorporation. Optimum conditions were achieved by use of 50% Liebovitz L-15 medium supplemented with 1 mM L-glutamine, 15 mM Hepes, 5 mg/ml vitellogenin, and 1 pglmlinsulin (final pH = 7.8).
In this report, we describe the use of Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with mRNA derived from cloned rat pituitary tumor (GH,) cells as a model system in which to study the mechanism of action of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and the regulation of the TRH receptor.
## Abstract The use of __Xenopus tropicalis__ as an alternative test species for the Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay β __Xenopus__ (FETAX) model was evaluated. Five test substances with varying developmental toxicity potential were evaluated using the traditional FETAX (__X. laevis__) and a modiο¬ed
## Abstract Synaptic vesicleβassociated proteins are important regulators of neurotransmitter release at synaptic terminals in mature animals. Some synaptic vesicleβassociated proteins are also expressed during development, although their contribution to development is not as clear. Here, we descri
