Vascular effects of acetylcholine, catecholamines and detergents on isolated perfused gills of pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha coho salmon, O. kisutch and chum salmon, O. keta

Abstract: Acetylcholine caused vasoconstriction whilst adrenaline and isoprenaline caused vasodilation in isolated perfused Pacific salmon gills. The detergent LAS produced concentration dependent vasodilation when present in the perfusate in concentrations of 0.6 to 3 mg 1-'.The effect of LAS was partly blocked by propranalol suggesting the involvement of 0-adrenergic receptors. The maximum responses obtained with acetylcholine, adrenaline or LAS were all much greater in sea water or pre-spawning freshwater fish than i… Show more

“…Branchial permeability to water is also affected (Jackson & Fromm, 1977). Very low detergent concentrations affect the vascular tone of isolated perfused gills of eels, trout and Pacific salmon and influence the responses of the gills to catecholamines (Bolis & Rankin, 1975;1978). In these experiments the detergent was added to the perfusing solution rather than to the water in which the gills were suspended, since detergents pass rapidly through fish gills (Tovell, Howes & Newsome, 1975;Granmo & Kollberg, 1976) and complicating factors such as the effect of water hardness on detergent uptake (Tovell, Newsome & Hughes, 1974) can thereby be avoided.…”

“…Of course, changes in the pattern of blood flow (e.g., increased lamellar perfusion or increased flow into the central venous sinus, which underlies the majority of the chloride cells, see above) could have profound secondary effects on gill transport. Bolis and Rankin (101) demonstrated that perfusion of isolated gills from various salmon species (Onchorhynchus sp.) with perfusate containing 0.6 to 3 ppm LAS produced a concentrationdependent vasodilation that was blocked by the 1B-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol, and was therefore presumably via direct interaction with a 3-adrenoceptor.…”
