Vascular Specialization in Fish, but No Evidence for Lymphatics

Blood Vascular System, Endothelial Cells, Lymphatics, Bony Fishes Blood distribution in the systemic circulation of bony fishes is effected by a dualistic construction of the vascula­ ture: A secondary arterial system originates from the well known (primary) arteries by multiple root-like shunt vessels. These secondary arteries and the vessels they supply should no longer be regarded as lymphat...

Role of NO in arterial vascular function of intertidal fish (Girella laevifrons) and marine fish (Isacia conceptionis).

Previous studies performed in intertidal fish (Girella laevifrons),as well as marine fish (Isacia conceptionis), showed that acetylcholine (ACh) produced contractions mediated by cyclooxygenases that were dependent on the area and potency of contraction in several arterial vessels. Given that the role of nitric oxide is poorly understood in fish, the objective of our study was to evaluate the r...
