Effects of hypophysectomy and environmental salts on intestinal alkaline phosphatase of the eel in relation to sea water adaptation

Description

Abstract 1. 1. When fresh water eels were adapted to sea water, the basal activity (without NaCl and MgCl 2 ) of alkaline phosphatase in intestinal mucosa increased. This increase was not observed after hypophysectomy. 2. 2. A higher activation by 500 mM NaCl and a lower activation by 5 mM MgCl 2 were obtained in sea water-adapted eels than in fresh water eels, independently of the hypophysis. 3. 3. Composition of the environmental salts which induced the changes above was examined.
