    Notes: Summary The central organization of anticipatory postural adjustments was investigated by examining the influence of preparatory set on the temporal relationship between postural and arm (focal) muscle activation. Surface EMG was recorded from the right tibialis anterior, lateral gastrocnemius, anterior deltoid and posterior deltoid muscles when pushing or pulling on a stiff handle. Preparatory set was manipulated by informing the subject of the upcoming direction of responding with a 80, 50 or 20% certainty. This created high, neutral and low levels of preparatory set, respectively. All six subjects showed activation of postural muscles in advance of focal muscles for both push and pull responses. However, only three subjects showed the expected effect of preparatory set on reaction time performance, i.e., an increase of reaction time with decreasing response probability. For these three subjects, the time between the activation of postural and focal muscles was the same for the high and neutral levels of preparatory set, but increased with a low level of preparatory set. The increased postural-focal latency for the low preparatory set condition was due to a longer delay for the activation of the focal muscles but not the postural muscles. This finding suggests that anticipatory postural adjustments and the activation of focal muscles are triggered by separate motor commands.

    Notes: Summary The effect of angiotensin infusion on the glomerular ultrastructure of freshwater- and seawater-adapted rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, has been examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Adaptation of trout to seawater resulted in epithelial podocyte flattening, primary process broadening and apparent loss of foot processes in almost all glomeruli, features which were uncommon in freshwater-adapted trout. Similar changes were induced by infusion of freshwater-adapted animals with angiotensin, suggesting that the renin-angiotensin system plays a role in the modification of glomerular epithelial ultrastructure. Adaptation of trout to seawater also reduced glomerular diameter, but infusion of freshwater-adapted animals with angiotensin did not mirror this effect. Infusion of angiotensin into seawater-adapted animals increased the overall thickness of glomerular basement membrane by increasing the lamina rara interna and lamina densa. This did not occur when freshwater-adapted fish were either infused with angiotensin or adapted to seawater. These findings suggest that other humoral systems are involved in the control of glomerular diameter and basement membrane thickness as part of an integrated response to increased environmental salinity.
