Vascular and Renal Actions of Salmon Calcitonin in Freshwater- and Seawater-Adapted European Eels (Anguilla Anguilla)
When freshwater eels were given either 5 or 15 i.u. calcitonin kg-1 body weight, there was an increase in dorsal aortic blood pressure as well as a rise in urine volume, glomerular filtration rate and electrolyte excretion rate, 1 h after injection. None of these changes was shown by seawater-adapte...
