In vitro reactivity of ventral aorta to acetylcholine and noradrenaline in yellow freshwater eel (<i>Anguilla anguilla</i> L.) acclimatized to 10.1 MPa hydrostatic pressure
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We examined in vitro vascular reactivity of eels previously acclimatized to 10.1 MPa hydrostatic pressure (HP) for 21 days. The isometric tension developed by ventral aortic rings was measured at atmospheric pressure. Dose-response curves for either acetylcholine (ACh) or noradrenaline (NA), as well as contractions evoked by 80 mM K+, were compared with time-matched experiments conducted on rings obtained from control eels. Results showed that neither the optimal tension nor the maximal force of the K+-evoked contraction were significantly modified, suggesting that acclimatization to high HP did not change the vascular smooth muscle contractile machinery. The dose-response curve to ACh was not significantly changed. Conversely, although NA always relaxed aortic rings, the response of acclimatized eels was significantly reduced over the entire range of the agonist concentration tested (10(-8) to 10(-3) M), except for the lowest one (10(-9) M). The maximal amplitude of the NA-induced relaxation was significantly reduced in aortic rings from acclimatized eels as compared with non-acclimatized samples (339.3 +/- 86.5 vs. 744.3 +/- 72.1 mg x mg(-1) dry weight, P < 0.005). Our results suggest that acclimatization to high HP could selectively alter the control of vascular tone by catecholamines.

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.
