The biological activity of endothelins (ETs) in non-innervated Synbranchus marmoratus melanophores was demonstrated. These peptides induced a dose-dependent pigment aggregation (lightening skin) in these cells. However, they presented EC 50 's (effective concentration required to produce 50% of resp

The possibility of sympathetic innervation to melanophores in fish was investigated using a catecholamine histochemical fluorescence method. Catecholamine-containing fibers were observed to be in close anatomic proximity to the conjunctival and dermal melanophores of the cunner (Tautogolabrus adsper
Melanophore melanosomes organelles can be regulated to move and locate correspondingly to many other different organelle types. Comparing lessons from analysis of a specific melanosome distribution can, therefore, contribute to the understanding of distribution of other organelles, and vice versa. F
The pattern of adrenergic innervation to melanophores in split tail fins of the goby, Tridentiger obscurus, and the guppy, Lebistes reticulatus, was investigated using 3H-norepinephrine (3H-NE) by light microscopic autoradiography. In goby fins, comparatively thick nerve bundles labeled with 3H-NE r
