Abstract

Effects of temperature stress on activities of NO-synthase (NOS) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in the CNS of two species of bivalve molluscs, Mizuchopecten yessoensis and Chlamys farreri nipponensis (Pectinidae) were studied using NADPH-diaphorase histochemistry and immunocytochemistry. General and specific peculiarities in distribution and relative proportion of TH- and NO-containing neurons in the CNS nerve ganglia were revealed in norm and under stress at 30°C for 10, 30, and 60 min. The initial stress stage (for 10 min) has been found to be accompanied by an increase of the relative content of TH-positive neurons in some CNS areas of both mollusc species. In intact Chlamys farreri nipponensis, the presence of NOS in the CNS and its significant activation under temperature stress might have possibly been an important neuroprotective component of stress reaction in some mollusc species.
