X Abstract

Rainbow trout, exposed to acute hypoxia (decrease of oxygen level from full to 30% air saturation for 1 h, stable 30% air saturation for 2 h), showed more than twofold increase in urine flow rate. Hypoxic diuresis was associated with a sustained increase in dorsal aortic cardiac peptide (sCP) level, and the diuresis could be completely inhibited by a bolus injection of sCP antiserum. These results suggest that hypoxic haemoconcentration, which is partially achieved via increased urine flow rate in vertebrates, is caused by cardiac peptides. The results further suggest that cardiac peptide receptors in hypoxic fish gills modulate the postbranchial systemic level of sCP.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
