Abstract
AC was localized cytochemically for the first time in tissues of lower Metazoa. Qualitative differences were found in the distribution of AC in the neoblasts of nonβregenerating and regenerating turbellarians. Changes were observed in AC activity during the course of regeneration.

Previous investigation has provided evidence for the control of electrogenic chloride secretion by pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) across the rat epididymal epithelium using electrophysiological measurement of transepithelial transport in cultured epididymal system. Hence,
Pituitary adenylate cyclaseβactivating polypeptide (PACAP) is a novel hypothalamic peptide, which has been shown to exert various functions in a number of tissues, including exocrine and endocrine tissues. The present study investigated the role of local PACAP in the control of anion secretion by th
The biochemical characteristics and the distribution of pituitary adenylate cyclaseactivating polypeptide (PACAP) binding sites have been investigated in the brain of the frog Rana ridibunda by using [ 125 I]PACAP27 as a radioligand. Membrane-binding studies revealed the existence of high-affinity r
