Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanism by which the calcium ionophore A23187 stimulates Cl and water secretion from exocrine glands in the frog skin. The Cl secretion was visualized as changes in short-circuit current (SCC) in skins where the Na absorption was blocked by amiloride applied to the apical membrane. Measurements of A23187 stimulated ion fluxes showed that the ionophore induced a net secretion of Cl, Na and K. The active Cl secretion was enhanced more than the Na and K secretion, resulting in a net secretion of negative ions which closely resembled the A23187-stimulated SCC. The effect of A23187 was abolished in skins pretreated with indomethacin, implying the involvement of prostaglandins in the response. Furthermore, the effect of A23187 was inhibited in the presence of quinacrine, indicating that the activation of the cyclooxygenase pathway is dependent on phospholipase A activity. In addition, the A23187, but not the arachidonic acid stimulated Cl secretion was abolished in the presence of trifluoperazine, suggesting that the effect of the ionophore may be mediated via a Ca-calmodulin-dependent step located before the activation of the cyclooxygenase. The net water flow and the Cl secretion were measured simultaneously under the conditions outlined above. The stimulation, inhibition, and time-course of the water secretion were similar to the changes observed for the Cl secretion. The A23187 stimulated Cl secretion was enhanced by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, theophyllin, indicating that the effect of A23187 was caused by an increase in the intracellular cAMP level in the gland cells. From the present data it is suggested that the calcium ionophore stimulates the Cl and water secretion from frog skin gland not by a direct effect of Ca-ions per se, but in an indirect manner by stimulating the prostaglandin synthesis, which probably results in an increase in the cAMP level in the gland cells. © 1989 Springer-Verlag.
