Background
The urine of freshwater fish species investigated so far acts as a vehicle for reproductive pheromones affecting the behaviour and physiology of the opposite sex. However, the role of urinary pheromones in intra-sexual competition has received less attention. This is particularly relevant in lek-breeding species, such as the Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus), where males establish dominance hierarchies and there is the possibility for chemical communication in the modulation of aggression among males. To investigate whether males use urine during aggressive interactions, we measured urination frequency of dye-injected males during paired interactions between size-matched males. Furthermore, we assessed urinary volume stored in the bladder of males in a stable social hierarchy and the olfactory potency of their urine by recording of the electro-olfactogram. 相似文献102.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the activities of ecto‐nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (E‐NTPDase; EC 3.6.1.5; CD39) and adenosine deaminase (E‐ADA; EC 3.5.4.4) in lymphocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Thirty patients diagnosed with RA through American College of Rheumatology criteria as well as 30 healthy patients were selected. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were isolated, and E‐NTPDase and E‐ADA activities were assayed. The results demonstrated an increased E‐NTPDase activity (both ATP and ADP as substrates) and a decreased E‐ADA activity in RA patients. These data suggest an organic effort to preserve the adenosine level, which is known to have anti‐inflammatory and analgesic properties, working as a potent suppressor of immune response.
