Abstract
Two main hormones regulate water balance in amphibian. First, mesotocin (MT) acting as a diuretic agent, and second arginine vasotocin (AVT) being an anti-diuretic hormone. In addition, prolactin (PRL), aldosterone, corticosterone, angiotensin II and atriunatriuretic hormones, play a role too in regulating water and ion balance. The hormones affect the epidermis and bladder permeability to water and ions as well as the kidney through the control of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The main questions concern the presence and action of these hormones during the amphibian's life history. Are they present in both larval and adult stages? Are these hormones being synthesized in both aquatic and terrestrial adult phases? Under what circumstances are they being stored or released? Would the target organs (epidermis, bladder, kidney) respond in a similar way during all periods? The problem is the fact that under most circumstances an amphibian while in an aquatic environment responds physiologically differently than when on land. Only partial information concerning hormone presence, release and control of water balance is available at the moment, and even that is fragmentary and based on only a very small number of amphibian species.

Abstract
1. Responses in renal function and in water permeability of skin and bladder to wet and dry environments are accomplished within the range of normal hydration of the amphibian organism. 2. Urine production is discontinued at moderate dehydration. 3. Strong dehydration is needed to raise plasma arginine vasotocin (AVT). 4. Surgical interference with hypophysial function may repress water balance responses because of pars distalis dysfunction, with no clear effect of elimination of pars nervosa function. 5. Antidiuretic hormones, along with adrenergic agonists, may be potent stimulators of the water permeability of membranes of variable permeability, such as skin of terrestrial anurans. 6. AVT does not play a key role in amphibian water economy, but may exert a modulatory role in the control of renal function, secondary to nervous control.

Abstract
The effects of 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-BrcAMP) on capacitance (C), osmotic water flow (Jv), and amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current (INa) were studied in bladder and skin derived from the tiger salamander (aquatic and postmetamorphosed terrestrial phase). 8-BrcAMP-dependent increases in C, measured from the transepithelial voltage response to constant current pulses, occurred in aquatic (delta C = 44%) and terrestrial (delta C = 61%) bladders and terrestrial skin (delta C = 19%). Jv (200-mosM gradient, mucosal side hypotonic) was observed in the bladders and was further enhanced by addition of 8-BrcAMP [10(-3) M; delta Jv = 0.42 microliter.min-1.microF-1 (aquatic) and 0.32 microliter.min-1.microF-1 (terrestrial)]. The aquatic and terrestrial skins were relatively impermeable to water, but the terrestrial skin showed a small response to 8-BrcAMP (delta Jv = 0.04 microliter.min-1.microF-1). 8-BrcAMP-mediated natriferic responses were observed in aquatic bladder (delta INa = 62%) and terrestrial skin (delta INa = 105%). Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)-induced Jv was also observed in the aquatic bladder (delta Jv = 0.33 microliter.min-1.microF-1) and was similar to the 8-BrcAMP-mediated Jv measured in this tissue. The terrestrial bladder displayed a more vigorous response to 8-BrcAMP than to ADH (delta JvADH = 0.09 microliter.min-1.microF-1 and delta Jv8-BrcAMP = 0.32 microliter.min-1.microF-1), suggesting that diminished sensitivity to ADH accompanies the transition from water to land in this species.

Abstract
The effects of arginine vasotocin (AVT) on water movements in three frogs of the anatomically primitive genus Leiopelma were compared in vivo and in vitro. Treatment with AVT in vivo (7 x 10(-13) mol/g body weight) led to significant water retention in the terrestrial species L. archeyi and L. hamiltoni, but not in the semiaquatic species L. hochstetteri. All three species showed increasing water retention over some part of the dose range 7 x 10(-15)-7 x 10(-11) mol/g. Isolated pelvic skin from L. archeyi and L. hamiltoni increased in osmotic water flow (OWF) in response to AVT, whereas that from L. hochstetteri did not. Dorsal skin from all three species, as well as pectoral skin from L. archeyi and L. hochstetteri, showed no hydroosmotic response to AVT. Isolated bladders of all species are small and showed small increases in OWF in response to AVT. Glomerular filtration rate in vivo was reduced significantly by AVT in L. archeyi and L. hamiltoni, but not in L. hochstetteri. These results show that water balance responses to AVT among the three species are correlated with habitat, and indicate that the absence of a cutaneous hydroosmotic response in L. hochstetteri is not a characteristic, primitive feature of the entire genus.

Abstract
The ultrastructural Na+-K+-ATPase localization in the salamander urinary bladder has been studied by the histochemical techniques of Ernst (1972) and Mayahara et al. (1980). Reaction products have been specially found on the basal and lateral membranes of granular and mitochondria-rich cells. The variable presence of artifacts, often accompanying Pb-capture phosphatase cytochemistry, is discussed. Additional data on the active ion transport have been obtained by using electrophysiological techniques.

Abstract
Five amphibian species were studied for the effect of hypophysial hormones on their water balance. The species were three anurans, Rana ridibunda, Bufo viridis and Pelobates syriacus, and two urodeles Salamandra salamandra and Triturus vittatus. In the first four species different stages of development were studied, in the newt both the terrestrial and aquatic phases of the adult were examined. The hormones used were oxytocin (OXY), arginine vasotocin (AVT) and prolactin (PL). Oxytocin caused most water retention when compared with the other hormones, especially responding were juveniles of Rana and Bufo, but also the terrestrial phase of the adult newt Triturus. Arginine vasotocin affected mostly juvenile Pelobates. Prolactin caused water retention in juvenile Rana and in the terrestrial phase of Triturus. In general the hormones affected the juvenile stages more than either larvae or adults.

Abstract
1. Simultaneous measurements of unidirectional sodium fluxes across foetal skin incubated in vitro with identical solutions ([Na] = 150 mM) bathing either side showed a flux ratio (influx/efflux) of 1-40+/-0-08 in twenty-seven sheep skins, which was significantly different from unity (P less than 0-001). The gestational ages ranged from 47 to 98 days (term = 147 days). Similar experiments on eight foetal pig skins at 58 days gestation (term = 114-118 days) gave a mean flux ratio of 1-10 +/- 0-03 (P less than 0-02). 2. Unidirectional sodium fluxes measured with dilute Ringer solution on the outside (mucosal) surface ([Na]0 = 100mM) gave influx to efflux ratios of 0-86 +/- 0-09 in seventeen sheep (P less than 0-05) and 1-07 +/- 0-26 in five foetal pigs; the value predicted for passive movement was 0-67. 3. Incubation with inhibitors, ouabain (10-4 M) or dinitrophenol (DNP) (10-4 M) gave a flux ratio for sodium which was not significantly different from unity in the absence of a gradient, or from 0-67 when the concentration gradient was applied. 4. Sequential measurement of unidirectional diffusional fluxes of tritiated water across foetal skin gave flux ratios of 0-98 +/- 0-02 in six sheep skins and 1-06 +/- 0-11 for four pig skins in control conditions. When the outside solution was diluted to give an osmotic gradient of 100 m-osmole. kg-1 across the skin a flux ratio of 0-95 +/- 0-07 was obtained for seven sheep and was not measured in pig skin. Hormones and inhibitors had no effect on the diffusional flux ratio for water in the presence or absence of an osmotic gradient. 5. Lysine vasopressin (ADH) (200 mu./ml.) increased influx and efflux of water in the presence and, to a lesser extent in the absence of an osmotic gradient in sheep skin. In pig skin prolactin (1 u./ml.) increased both influx and efflux, but ADH had no effect on diffusional water fluxes. 6. ADH increased sodium influx in sheep skin slightly but vasotocin (5-5 mu./ml.) was more potent, particularly in the presence of an opposing diffusion gradient. Vasotocin (55 mu./ml.) reduced sodium influx in pig skin ADH had no effect on influx or efflux and prolactin reduced sodium influx and efflux. Ouabain and DNP generally reduced permeability to both sodium and water in sheep skin but had no effect in pig skin.
