The differential role of renoguanylin in osmoregulation and apical Cl−/HCO3− exchange activity in the posterior intestine of the Gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) (2015)
Journal Article

The guanylin family of peptides are effective regulators of intestinal physiology in marine teleosts. In the distal intestinal segments, they inhibit or reverse fluid absorption by inhibiting the absorptive short-circuit current (Isc). The present fi...

Guanylin peptides regulate electrolyte and fluid transport in the Gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) posterior intestine (2014)
Journal Article

The physiological effects of guanylin (GN) and uroguanylin (UGN) on fluid and electrolyte transport in the teleost fish intestine have yet to be thoroughly investigated. In the present study, the effects of GN, UGN, and renoguanylin (RGN; a GN and UG...

Steroid concentrations in plasma, whole blood and brain: Effects of saline perfusion to remove blood contamination from brain (2010)
Journal Article

The brain and other organs locally synthesize steroids. Local synthesis is suggested when steroid levels are higher in tissue than in the circulation. However, measurement of both circulating and tissue steroid levels are subject to methodological co...
