Abstract
EM study of the melanophores in 3 spp. of teleosts [Fundulus heteroclitus, Opsanus tau and Paralichthys dentatus] shows the presence of 11 nm filaments in their cytoplasm. Three sympathomimetic substances (adrenalin [epinephrine], 6-hydroxydopamine and 5-hydroxydopamine) act in vivo and in vitro to induce a considerable increase in the number of these filaments, mainly in the cell branches.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
