AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether thyroxine affects the epithelial membranes of anuran (frog) species, specifically the urinary bladder of Rana temporaria.
- It finds that concentrations of thyroxine (10^-6 and 10^-4 M) do not significantly alter ion and water content in frog bladder tissue.
- Additionally, there were no observed changes in oxygen consumption in the bladder or skin of the studied frog species.
Article Abstract
As a contribution to the discussion whether in vitro thyroxine effects occur at all on anuran epithelial membranes it has been shown that thyroxine 10(-6) and 10(-4) M) produces neither a detectable change in the content of ions and water in the tissue of the urinary bladder of Rana temporaria, nor a change in the oxygen consumption of the bladder or skin of this frog species.
