## Abstract Ammonia enters the brain by diffusion from the blood or cerebrospinal fluid, or is formed __in situ__ from the metabolism of endogenous nitrogenβcontaining substances. Despite its central importance in nitrogen homeostasis, excess ammonia is toxic to the central nervous system and its c
The spatial and temporal dynamics of calcification in whole colonies of Mediterranean red coral Corallium rubrum (Linnaeus) (Cnidaria, Octocorallia) was studied by incubating colonies with 45caloium (45Ca) or 14C-aspartic acid (14C-asp), and measuring the radioisotope uptake in sectioned fractions i
The relationship between carbonic anhydrase and calcification in the gorgonian Leptogorgia virgulata was examined by analysis of the enzyme's activity, its cellular locations and its response to inhibition by Diamox. Enzyme activity was 2.7 nmol pg-' protein s-' at 4Β°C. Carbonic anhydrase localizati
