In the present study, the anatomical association and functional interaction between nerve
fibres and granular cells in the atrium of the snail Achatina achatina are investigated using a …

The atrium of the gastropod mollusc Achatina fulica receives rich innervation and contains
numerous granular cells (GCs). We studied the atrial innervation and discovered that axon …

By immunohistochemical and immunocytochemical methods localization of Substanse P
(SP) and FMRFamide in the atrium of the snail Achatina fulica was investigated. Nerve fibers …

The methods of immunohystochemistry and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry
were applied for the investigation of the localization of the substances P (SP)-and …

Abundant secretory granular cells (GCs) in the Giant African land snail atrium harbor a
range of bioactive substances and undergo rapid total degranulation in response to …

Catecholamine dopamine (DA) is an important neurotransmitter and hormone involved in
many physiological processes and stress reactions in vertebrates and invertebrates. The …

The vertebrate CRF signaling system consists of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), two
types of receptors to CRF (CRF-R1 and CRF-R2), and CRF-binding protein (CRF-BP). The …

Using a postembedding immunogold electron microscopic method, the ultrastructure and
synaptic connections of FMRFamide-like immunoreactive varicosities were investigated in …

Experimental studies suggest that intracardiac ganglia act as integrative control centers for
maintaining the adequate cardiac output. However, the synaptic connections and circuits of …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are evolutionary conserved peptides well known as molecular
chaperones and stress proteins. Elevated levels of extracellular Hsps in blood plasma have …
