Induction of ovarian growth in Aegla uruguayana (Anomura, Aeglidae) by means of neuroregulators incorporated to food
The stimulatory effect of the spiperone and naloxone on the ovarian growth was evaluated in females of Aegla uruguayana Schmitt, 1942, being that these neuroregulators were incorporated to food and administrated at a dose of 10-8 mol/animal to each session food. Adult females were sampled with nets...

Adult females were sampled with nets in a stream near the municipality of Salto, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the beginning of the experiment, 10 females were randomly selected, sacrificed, weighed and their ovaries were quickly dissected and weighed to serve as the initial control for evaluating the degree of ovarian growth (gonadosomatic index -GI). Others females (30) were divided in three experimental groups - (a) control: females fed on control pellets composed by fish food - 34% protein and 43% protein; (b) spiperone: females fed on pellets enriched with the dopaminegic antagonist spiperone; (c) naloxone: females fed on pellets enriched with the enkephalinergic antagonist naloxone. After seven week of experiment the females were sacrificed and evaluated the GI. The lipids and cholesterol levels of ovaries and hepatopancreas were quantified. Naloxone produced a significant increase of lipids levels in both ovaries and hepatopancreas in relation to control group. Spiperone caused significant increase of lipids levels at the gonads and hepatopancreas and cholesterol in hepatopancreas when compared with the control. The lipids levels were significantly lower in hemolymph of the females that were fed with pellets with spiperone and higher at the females treated with naloxone when compared to females that were fed only fish food. The spiperone and naloxone when inhibited the effect of the dopamine and endogenous opioids, probably caused the secretion of the gonad stimulating hormone and the inhibition of the gonad inhibiting hormone, therefore induction of the ovarian development. Such hypothesis can be strengthened for the increases of gonadosomatic indices in these experimental groups. Fil:Cahansky, A.V. Universidad de Buenos Aires.

The stimulatory effect of the spiperone and naloxone on the ovarian growth was evaluated in females of Aegla uruguayana Schmitt, 1942, being that these neuroregulators were incorporated to food and administrated at a dose of 10-8 mol/animal to each session food. Adult females were sampled with nets in a stream near the municipality of Salto, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the beginning of the experiment, 10 females were randomly selected, sacrificed, weighed and their ovaries were quickly dissected and weighed to serve as the initial control for evaluating the degree of ovarian growth (gonadosomatic index -GI). Others females (30) were divided in three experimental groups - (a) control: females fed on control pellets composed by fish food - 34% protein and 43% protein; (b) spiperone: females fed on pellets enriched with the dopaminegic antagonist spiperone; (c) naloxone: females fed on pellets enriched with the enkephalinergic antagonist naloxone.

Naloxone produced a significant increase of lipids levels in both ovaries and hepatopancreas in relation to control group.
