Abstract
SUMMARY
Drosophila melanogaster (Meigen) detects and uses many volatiles for its survival. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is detected in adults by a special class of olfactory receptor neurons, expressing the gustatory receptor Gr21a. The behavioral responses to CO2 were investigated in a four-field olfactometer bioassay that is new for Drosophila. We determined (1) whether the sensitivity of this response changes with odor context, and (2) if it depends on sex and life stage. When CO2 was added to ambient air in one field and tested against ambient air in the three other fields, individually observed adults avoided CO2 (0.1-1%above ambient), but did not respond to a low rise of 0.02%. We relate this behavior to measurements of CO2 production in bananas and flies. When 0.02% CO2 was combined with the odor of apple cider vinegar in one field of the olfactometer and tested against ambient air in the three other fields, the addition of CO2 did not affect the attractiveness of apple cider vinegar alone. However, this combination of CO2 and vinegar became repellent when it was tested against vinegar at ambient CO2 concentrations in the three other fields. This `odor background effect' was female-specific, revealing a sexually dimorphic behavior. The new assay allowed us to test larvae under similar conditions and compare their behavior to that of adults. Like adults, they avoided CO2, but with lower sensitivity. Larvae lacking neurons expressing Gr21a lost their avoidance behavior to CO2, but kept their positive response to vinegar odor. Hence, Gr21a-expressing neurons mediate similar behaviors in larvae and adults.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO(2)) excretion and acid-base regulation in fish are linked, as in other animals, though the reversible reactions of CO(2) and the acid-base equivalents H(+) and HCO(3)(-): CO(2)+H(2)O<-->H(+)+HCO(3)(-). These relationships offer two potential routes through which acid-base disturbances may be regulated. Respiratory compensation involves manipulation of ventilation so as to retain CO(2) or enhance CO(2) loss, with the concomitant readjustment of the CO(2) reaction equilibrium and the resultant changes in H(+) levels. In metabolic compensation, rates of direct H(+) and HCO(3)(-) exchange with the environment are manipulated to achieve the required regulation of pH; in this case, hydration of CO(2) yields the necessary H(+) and HCO(3)(-) for exchange. Because ventilation in fish is keyed primarily to the demands of extracting O(2) from a medium of low O(2) content, the capacity to utilize respiratory compensation of acid-base disturbances is limited and metabolic compensation across the gill is the primary mechanism for re-establishing pH balance. The contribution of branchial acid-base exchanges to pH compensation is widely recognized, but the molecular mechanisms underlying these exchanges remain unclear. The relatively recent application of molecular approaches to this question is generating data, sometimes conflicting, from which models of branchial acid-base exchange are gradually emerging. The critical importance of the gill in acid-base compensation in fish, however, has made it easy to overlook other potential contributors. Recently, attention has been focused on the role of the kidney and particularly the molecular mechanisms responsible for HCO(3)(-) reabsorption. It is becoming apparent that, at least in freshwater fish, the responses of the kidney are both flexible and essential to complement the role of the gill in metabolic compensation. Finally, while respiratory compensation in fish is usually discounted, the few studies that have thoroughly characterized ventilatory responses during acid-base disturbances in fish suggest that breathing may, in fact, be adjusted in response to pH imbalances. How this is accomplished and the role it plays in re-establishing acid-base balance are questions that remain to be answered.

Abstract
Acetazolamide (ACZ) administration was compared on ventilation in outbred male ICR Swiss Webster (ICR) and inbred C57BL/6J (C57) mice, used in development of transgenic strains. We hypothesized that in both strains ACZ would affect breathing similarly. Mice received intraperitoneally vehicle and the next week ACZ (40 mg/kg), and were exposed to air for 90 min, followed by 5-min exposure to 10% O(2), air for 15 min, and to 5 min of 5% CO(2) in O(2). Ventilation was evaluated using plethysmography. ACZ stimulated ventilation in both stains exposed to air. C57 mice minimally increased frequency and tidal volume, whereas ICR mice markedly increased frequency. Strain differences in the ventilatory pattern in response to hypoxia and hypercapnia occurred. ACZ-treated ICR mice decreased hypoxic responsiveness to 50% of vehicle values, whereas ACZ had no effect in C57 mice. ACZ decreased hypercapnic ventilatory responsiveness in both strains. Differential effects of ACZ breathing in these two strains suggest that genetic factors modulate its effect on breathing.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase is a ubiquitous metalloenzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydration/dehydration of carbon dioxide. To date, 16 different CA isozymes have been identified in mammals, and several novel isozymes have also been identified in non-mammalian vertebrates. These isozymes are involved in many physiological processes; however, one of the most important roles is facilitating the transport and subsequent excretion of carbon dioxide. As such, CA isozymes are found at virtually every step of the process, including the metabolic site of CO(2) production (muscle), the circulating red blood cells, and the primary respiratory surface (gills/lungs). This review will examine the structural characteristics that are integral to CAs participation in respiration, as well as highlight the specific roles and tissues that the different CA isozymes are involved in.

Abstract
SUMMARYAnuran amphibians have multiple populations of pH/CO2-sensitive respiratory-related chemoreceptors. This study examined in cane toads(Bufo marinus) whether chronic hypercapnia (CHC) altered the pH/CO2 sensitivity of central respiratory-related chemoreceptors in vitro and whether CHC altered the acute hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR; 5% CO2) in vivo. Toads were exposed to CHC(3.5% CO2) for 9 days. In vitro brainstem–spinal cord preparations were used to examine central respiratory-related pH/CO2 chemosensitivity. CHC augmented in vitro fictive breathing as the pH of the superfusate was lowered from 8.2 to 7.4. Midbrain transection in vitro (at a level known to reduce the clustering of breaths) did not alter this augmentation. In vivo, CHC did not alter the acute HCVR but midbrain transection changed the breathing pattern and increased the overall level of ventilation. CHC did not alter the effect of olfactory CO2 chemoreceptor denervation on the acute HCVR in vivo but did alter the response when returned to normal air. The results indicate that CHC increases the response of central pH/CO2chemoreceptors to changes in cerebrospinal fluid pH in vitro yet this increase is not manifest as an increase in the HCVR in vivo.

Abstract
This paper uses a steady-state modeling approach to describe the effects of changes in acid-base balance on the chemoreflex control of breathing. First, a mathematical model is presented, which describes the control of breathing by the respiratory chemoreflexes; equations express the dependence of pulmonary ventilation on Pco(2) and Po(2) at the central and peripheral chemoreceptors. These equations, with Pco(2) values as inputs to the chemoreceptors, are transformed to equations with hydrogen ion concentrations [H(+)] in brain interstitial fluid and arterial blood as inputs, using the Stewart approach to acid-base balance. Examples illustrate the use of the model to explain the regulation of breathing during acid-base disturbances. They include diet-induced changes in sodium and chloride, altitude acclimatization, and respiratory disturbances of acid-base balance due to chronic hyperventilation and carbon dioxide retention. The examples demonstrate that the relationship between Pco(2) and [H(+)] should not be neglected when modeling the chemoreflex control of breathing. Because pulmonary ventilation controls Pco(2) rather than the actual stimulus to the chemoreceptors, [H(+)], changes in their relationship will alter the ventilatory recruitment threshold Pco(2), and thereby the steady-state resting ventilation and Pco(2).

Abstract
The ventilatory response to electrically induced rhythmic muscle contractions (ERCs) was studied in six urethane-chloralose-anaesthetized sheep, while arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide pressure (P(a,O(2)) and P(a,CO2)) and perfusion pressure were maintained constant at the known chemoreception sites. With cephalic P(a,CO2) held constant, the response to inhaled CO2 was virtually abolished (0.03 +/- 0.04 l min(-1) Torr(-1)). During low-current ERC, which doubled the metabolic rate ( increased from 192 +/- 23 to 317 +/- 84 ml min(-1), P < 0.01), followed the change in closely (from 5.24 +/- 1.81 to -9.27 +/- 3.60 l min(-1), P < 0.01) in the absence of any chemical error signal occurring at carotid and central chemoreceptor level (Deltacephalic P(a,CO2)=-0.75 +/- 1 Torr). Systemic P(a,CO2) decreased by -2.47 +/- 1.9 Torr (P < 0.01). Both heart rate and systemic blood pressure increased significantly by 18.6 +/- 5.5 beats min(-1) and 7.0 +/- 9.3 mmHg, respectively. When the CO2 flow to the central circulation was reduced during ERC by blocking venous return ( decreased by 102 +/- 45 l min(-1), P < 0.01), ventilation was stimulated (from 11.99 +/- 4.11 to 13.01 +/- 4.63 l min(-1), P < 0.05). The opposite effect was observed when the arterial supply was blocked. Finally, raising the CO2 content and flow in the systemic blood did not significantly stimulate ventilation provided that the peripheral and central chemoreceptors were unaware of the changes in blood CO2/H+ composition. Our results support the existence of a system capable of controlling blood P(a,CO2) homeostasis when the metabolism increases independently of peripheral and central respiratory chemoreceptors. Information from the skeletal muscles related to the local vascular response provides the central nervous system with a respiratory stimulus proportional to the rate at which gases are exchanged in the muscles, thereby coupling ventilation to the metabolic rate.

Abstract
Marine mammals are constrained in their foraging behaviour because, as obligate air breathers, they must undertake regular trips to the water surface to satisfy the need for respiratory gas exchange. Maximum underwater endurance time is determined by O2 supply and demand, but this does not necessarily imply that O2 is the main factor regulating individual dive and surface times. This study presents a theoretical analysis of diving performance that emphasizes a key role for CO2 in the proximate control of diving behaviour. Computer simulations, based on a mathematical model of the mammalian cardiorespiratory control system, are used to investigate the influence of swimming to depth and other energetic stresses (feeding, thermogenesis, sleep) on predicted diving behaviour in an average adult Weddell seal. The plausibility of the proposed model is supported by the study, which replicated published observations of natural diving behaviour in this species. It is suggested that diving behaviour is tuned to oscillations in respiratory drive and that behavioural and physiological factors can alter the dynamic characteristics of the system to achieve a highly adaptable reciprocal interaction that blurs the boundary between physiology and behaviour.

Abstract
This study examined the effect of acute hypoxic and hypercapnic cardiorespiratory stimuli, superimposed on existing cardiorespiratory disturbances in tambaqui. In their natural habitat, these fish often encounter periods of hypoxic hypercapnia that can be acutely exacerbated by water turnover. Tambaqui were exposed to periods of normoxia, hypoxia, hyperoxia and hypercapnia during which, externally oriented O2 and CO2 chemoreceptors were further stimulated, by administration into the inspired water of sodium cyanide and CO2-equilibrated water, respectively. Hyperoxic water increased the sensitivity of the NaCN-evoked increase in breathing frequency (f(R)) and decrease in heart rate. Hypoxia and hypercapnia attenuated the increase in f(R) but, aside from blood pressure, did not influence the magnitude of NaCN-evoked cardiovascular changes. Water PO2 influenced the magnitude of the CO2-evoked cardiorespiratory changes and the sensitivity of CO2-evoked changes in heart rate and blood flow. The results indicate that existing respiratory disturbances modulate cardiorespiratory responses to further respiratory challenges reflecting both changes in chemosensitivity and the capacity for further change.

Abstract
SUMMARYDespite being obligate air breathers, many species of marine mammal are capable of spending most of their lives submerged in water. How they do this has been a subject of intense interest to physiologists for over a century,yet we still do not have a detailed understanding of the physiological mechanisms underlying this behaviour. What are the proximate mechanisms that trigger the 'decisions' to submerge and return to the surface? The present study proposes a model intended to address this question, based on fundamental concepts of cardiorespiratory control. Two basic hypotheses are examined by computer simulation, using a mathematical model of the mammalian cardiorespiratory control system with parameter values for an adult Weddell seal: (1) that the control of diving can be considered to be a respiratory control problem, and (2) that dives are initiated and maintained by disfacilitation of respiratory drive, not inhibition. Computer simulations confirmed the plausibility of these hypotheses. Simulated diving behaviour and physiological responses (ventilation, cardiac output, blood and tissue gas tensions) were consistent with published data from freely diving Weddell seals. Dives up to the estimated aerobic dive limit (ADL, 18-25 min) could be simulated without the need for active inhibition of breathing in this model. This theoretical analysis suggests that the most important physiological adjustments occur during the surface interval phase of the dive cycle and include hyperventilation accompanied by high cardiac output, appropriate regulation of cerebral blood flow and central chemoreceptor threshold shifts. During dives, cardiac output, distribution of peripheral blood flow, splenic contraction and peripheral chemoreflex drives were found to modulate physiological and behavioural responses, but were not essential for simulated dives to occur. The main conclusion from this study is that the central chemoreceptor may be an important mechanism involved in the regulation of diving behaviour, implying that CO2, not O2, is the key regulatory variable in this model. This model includes and extends the ADL concept and suggests an explicit mechanism by which the respiratory control system may play a central role in the regulation of diving behaviour. It is likely that respiratory mechanisms are an important component of a hierarchical behavioural control system and further studies are required to test the qualitative and quantitative validity of the model.

Mineral acquisition rates in developing enamel on maxillary and mandibular incisors of rats and mice: implications to extracellular acid loading as apatite crystals mature.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The formation rates of mineral in developing enamel were determined by microweighing of incisors of mice and rats. Computations indicated that a large excess of hydrogen ions would result from creating apatite at the calculated rates. Enamel organ cells (ameloblasts), therefore, likely excrete bicarbonate ions to prevent pH in fluid bathing enamel from becoming too acidic. INTRODUCTION Protons (H+) are generated whenever calcium and phosphate ions combine directly from aqueous solutions to form hydroxyapatite. Enamel is susceptible to potential acid loading during development because the amount of fluid bathing this tissue is small and its buffering capacity is low. The epithelial cells covering this tissue are also believed to form permeability barriers at times during the maturation stage when crystals grow at their fastest rates. The goal of this study was to measure the bulk weight of mineral present in rodent enamel at specific times in development and estimate the amount of acid potentially formed as the apatite crystals mature. MATERIALS AND METHODS Upper and lower jaws of mice and rats were freeze-dried, and the enamel layers on the incisors were partitioned into a series of 0.5 mm (mouse) or 1.0 mm (rat) strips along the length of each tooth. The strips were weighed on a microbalance, ashed at 575 degrees C for 18-24 h to remove organic material, and reweighed to determine the actual mineral weight for each strip. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The data indicated that, despite differences in gross sizes and shapes of maxillary and mandibular incisors in rats and mice, the overall pattern and rates of mineral acquisition were remarkably similar. This included sharply increasing rates of mineral acquisition between the secretory and maturation stages, with peak levels approaching 40 microg/mm tooth length. Computer modeling indicated that quantities of H+ ions potentially generated as apatite crystals grew during the maturation stage greatly exceeded local buffering capacity of enamel fluid and matrix proteins. In other systems, bicarbonate ions are excreted to neutralize highly acidic materials generated extracellularly. Data from this study indicate that ameloblasts, and perhaps cells in other apatite-based hard tissues, use similar bicarbonate release mechanisms to control excess acid arising from mineral formation.

Abstract
We present a technique for removing global effects from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) images, using a voxel-level linear model of the global signal (LMGS). The procedure does not assume low-frequency global effects and is based on the assumption that the global signal (the time course of the average intensity per volume) is replicated in the same pattern throughout the brain, although not necessarily at the same magnitude. A second assumption is that all effects that match the global signal are of no interest and can be removed. The method involves modeling the time course of each voxel to the global signal and removing any such global component from the voxel's time course. A challenge that elicits a large change in the global blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal, inspired hypercapnia (5% CO(2)/95% O(2)), was administered to 14 subjects during a 144-s, 24-scan fMRI procedure; baseline series were also collected. The method was applied to these data and compared to intensity normalization and low-frequency spline detrending. A large global BOLD signal increase emerged to the hypercapnic challenge. Intensity normalization failed to remove global components due to regional variability. Both LMGS and spline detrending effectively removed low-frequency components, but unlike spline detrending (which is designed to remove only low frequency trends), the LMGS removed higher-frequency global fluctuations throughout the challenge and baseline series. LMGS removes all effects correlated with the global signal, and may be especially useful for fMRI data that include large global effects and for generating detrended images to use with subsequent volume-of-interest (VOI) analyses.
