...-inhibiting hormone (MIH), which suppresses production of ecdysteroids by the Y-organ (YO). MIH signaling involves nitric oxide and cGMP in the YO, which expresses nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase (GC-I). Molting can generally be induced by eyestalk ablation (ESA), which removes...

...Inessa V. Dyuizen; Elena P. Kotsyuba; Nina E. Lamash SUMMARY Using NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d) histochemistry, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting, we characterized the nitric oxide (NO)-producing neurons in the brain and thoracic ganglion of a shore crab...

Under basal conditions, CST (from 11 nmol l –1 to 165 nmol l –1 ) caused a concentration-dependent negative inotropism, which was abolished by inhibitors of either β 1 /β 2 (propranolol) or β 3 (SR 59230 ) adrenergic receptors, or by G i/o protein (PTx) or nitric oxide synthase (L...
