Although increasing evidence links planar chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), to decreases in survival and reproduction of fish, mammals, and birds near Green Bay, Wisconsin, and the Great Lakes, USA, relatively little is known of their bioaccumulation or of their pos

## Abstract Anemias were induced in __Rana pipiens__ hemolytically and by repetitive bleedings. Maximal rates of oxygen consumption ( max) declined with anemia. The pattern of decline in max with anemia did not closely approximate theoretical predictions of systematic oxygen transport. Anemic frogs
## Abstract Frogs and tadpoles (__Rana pipiens__) were treated with mammalian prolactin or growth hormone for several days, then injected with ^14^Cβleucine. Fourteen to sixteen hours later the animals were killed and the amount of label incorporated into protein of muscle, liver, and gut was measu
## Abstract Bullfrog tadpoles subjected to the daily disturbance of water replacement demonstrated differences in the rates of growth and metamorphosis and in fatbody weights which depended on the time of day when water replacement occurred. Early daily disturbances stimulated larval growth whereas
In Rana pipiens, forelimb muscles that are used by males to clasp females during amplexus are sexually dimorphic in mass, protein content, and fiber composition. This experiment examined the effects of castration and exogenous testosterone on wet mass, dry mass, and protein content of the 22 major f
