## Abstract We investigated the steroid biosynthetic capabilities of ovarian granulosa and thecal elements of the viviparous dogfish, __Squalus acanthias__. In this report we present evidence that granulosa cells secrete quantitatively important amounts of progesterone (P), testosterone (T) and est

## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent vasodilator in terrestrial vertebrates, but whether vascular endothelialβderived NO plays a role in vascular regulation in fish remains controversial. To explore this issue, a study was made of spiny dogfish sharks (__Squalus acanthias__) in normoxia and ac
The release of alanine by dogfish (Squalus acanthias) skeletal muscle was assayed in vivo and alanine biosynthesis was characterized in vitro. Amino acid analyses of blood drawn from dorsal aorta and caudal vein indicated that after one day of starvation only alanine was released by tail muscle in s
## Abstract The effect of hypercapnia on the acidβbase balance and acidβequivalent transfers has been measured in the dogfish __Squalus acanthias__. Previous reports on __Squalus__ are not in agreement as to the role played by compensatory acidβbase transfers between the animal and the water during
