Abstract
Aqueous extracts of goldfish Corpuscles of Stannius were tested in an elasmobranch, Dasyatis akajei, to investigate the effects upon plasma calcium and inorganic phosphate. The extract produced hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia in the stingray. Receptors with affinity for stanni ocalcin are therefore widespread among the vertebrates. (C) 1996 Acade mic Press, Inc.
