Western Palearctic water frogs in the genus Pelophylax are a set of morphologically similar anuran species that form hybridogenetic complexes. Fully reliable identification of species and especially of hybrid ploidy depends on karyological and molecular methods. In central Europe, native water frog populations consist of the Pelophylax esculentus complex, that is, P.

Aldolase was found to be uniformly distributed in the cytoplasm of trophocytes and follicular cells, with the highest concentration in prefollicular cells. Its concentration in follicular cells increased during differentiation and reached a peak in ovarian follicles at the stage of late choriogenesis.

The effect of a high dose of cortisol (200 mg kg(-1) body mass) on juvenile carp was investigated. The activity of glucose-6-phosphatase in liver and of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in liver, kidney and muscle, the serum glucose and fructose-2,6-bisphosphate concentration as well as the serum concentration of the injected hormone were measured after 24, 72 and 216 h after intraperitoneal cortisol injection. The activities of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in liver and kidney and glucose-6-phosphatase in liver were elevated in comparison with the control, while the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activity in the muscle tissue was unchanged.

The most striking effect of cortisol was manifest as a significant change in the percentage composition of leukocytes, whose number per unit volume of blood remained relatively constant. A profound lymphopenia and eosinopenia were compensated for in the general balance by an increased number of circulating promyelocytes and myelocytes as well as metamyelocytes and mature polymorphonuclear neutrophilic granulocytes.

The activities of Fru-1,6-P2ase and G-6-Pase in liver and kidney of frogs acclimated at 5 and 25 degrees C and Fru-2,6-P2 level in liver were investigated. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of thermal acclimation on regulatory enzymes of gluconeogenesis and on concentration of gluconeogenesis regulator. Fru-1,6-P2ase activity in liver of frogs acclimated at 5 degrees C was 6.
