Hydroxylation and conjugation of phenol by the frog Rana temporaria.
1985
1. Frogs injected with phenol excrete 67–95% of dose in 15h; 32–87% of dose are metabolites.2. Metabolites identified were phenyl sulphate (15–44% of dose), phenyl glucuronide (10–25% of dose), catechol sulphate (up to 7% of dose), quinol sulphate (1–25% of dose), resorcinol and catechol (traces).
6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from frog skeletal muscle: purification, kinetics and immunological properties.
1993
Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is the most potent activator of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase, a key regulatory enzyme of glycolysis in animal tissues. This study was prompted by the finding that the content of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in frog skeletal muscle was dramatically increased at the initiation of exercise and was closely correlated with the glycolytic flux during exercise. 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, the enzyme system catalyzing the synthesis and degradation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, was purified from frog (Rana esculenta) skeletal muscle and its properties were compared with those of the rat muscle type enzyme expressed in Escherichia coli using recombinant DN…
Regulatory features of glycogen phosphorylase from frog brain (Rana temporaria)
1985
1. Glycogen content and the activity of glycogen phosphorylase (GPase) are much higher in brain tissue of the Common frog (Rana temporaria) than in brain tissue of mammals and birds (Table 1). 2. In phosphate buffer GPase is extracted from frog orain in a form completely active without addition of AMP and has therefore to be regarded as phosphorylase a. Several procedures to extract the b-form of the enzyme from the tissue have been unsuccessful. In resting skeletal muscle predominantly the AMP dependent b-form is present (Table 1). 3. In vitro, however, the existence of the complete interconverting system can be demonstrated. If NaF (a phosphatase inhibitor) was omitted from the homogeniza…
Heat production of frogs under normoxic and hypoxic conditions: A microcalorimetric study using a gas flow system
1991
Abstract Heat production of male frogs, Rana temporaria , was measured in a microcalorimeter through which a continuous flow of gas was passed in order to generate constant normoxic, hypoxic or anoxic conditions. The normoxic heat flow was 163 ± 37 μ W g body weight in frogs that had not been treated with curare and 149 ± 69 μ W g in animals immobilized with curare. During anoxia, frogs, whether curarized or not, decreased their heat production to about 25% of the respective normoxic control. In graded hypoxia (10% to 3% O 2 ), curarized frogs decreased their heat rate according to the grade of hypoxia they were subjected to.
