Blood and gill responses to HCl infusions in the Pacific hagfish (<i>Eptatretus stoutii</i>)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pacific hagfish ( Eptatretus stoutii (Lockington, 1878)) were serially infused with HCl (6000 µmol·kg–1) every 6 h over a 24 h period to explore branchial acid secretion mechanisms. Blood pH recovered from a value ~2 pH units below that of resting pH. This pH regulatory mechanism was activated by 6 h and persisted over the 24 h time course. Western-blot analysis revealed an increased abundance (~2.3×) of NHE2-like immunoreactivity (NHE2 L-IR) in whole gill fractions from HCl-infused fish compared with control NaCl-infused fish. Membrane fractions isolated from the gills of HCl-infused fish also showed an increased abundance (~1.8×). Immunohistochemistry results demonstrated a significant redistribution of NHE2 L-IR to the apical region in HCl-infused fish. V-H+-ATPase abundance did not significantly increase in HCl-infused fish, while levels of Na+/K+-ATPase expression were unchanged. Immunohistochemistry of these transporters did not show any changes in cellular localization. We propose that the Pacific hagfish overcomes a metabolic acidosis via an increased synthesis of an NHE-like protein and an increased density of the transporter at the apical region of the mitochondria-rich cells of the gill.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
