- ItemCOMPARISON OF THE SUBCELLULAR-DISTRIBUTION OF ALVEOLAR SURFACTANT IN 2 MAMMALIAN-SPECIES OF SIMILAR BODY-WEIGHT - CAT AND RABBIT(1992) OYARZUN, MJ; MORGADO, E; DUSSAUBAT, N; LATHROP, ME; ITURRIAGA, R; LARRAIN, C; ZAPATA, P1. We studied the total amount and subcellular distribution of alveolar surfactant, extracted through bronchoalveolar lavage of anesthetized cats and rabbits. This was correlated to several morphometric and ventilatory variables of these animals.
- ItemDOPAMINE-BETA-HYDROXYLASE ACTIVITY IN NORMAL AND SYMPATHECTOMIZED CAROTID-BODIES(1976) MORGADO, E; LLADOS, F; ZAPATA, PNormal carotid bodies excised from cats showed DBH [dopamine-.beta.-hydroxylase] values of 5.04 .+-. 0.53 nmol [3H]octopamine formed/h per 100 mg tissue (.hivin.x .+-. S.E.). Values from sympathectomized carotid bodies were not significantly different. While the ganglio-glomerular nerves, providing the sympathetic innervation of the carotid bifurcation, had a high DBH level, this was low in the carotid sinus nerve, providing its sensory innervation. Glomeral DBH may be contained in a special type of noradrenergic glomus cells, distinct from the most common dopaminergic glomus cells.
