This award supports cooperative research on the                                 regulation of hormone secretion in amphibian endocrine                          cells to be carried out by Illani Atwater and other                             researchers at NIH and Veronica Nassar-Gentina and her                          co-workers at the University of Chile. The co-workers                           are from the Faculty of Sciences in Montemar and the                            Faculty of Medicine in Santiago.  Stimulus-secretion                            mechanisms in tadpole amphibian adrenal medulla and                             pancreatic cells will be compared to the same                                   mechanisms in adult cells.  Changes in cell membrane                            potentials and ionic channel activity will be measured                          and combined with measurements of hormone release in                            vitro.  Many similarities exist between adult                                   amphibian and mammalian hormone release patterns so it                          is important for this reason to establish a convenient                          non-mammalian animal model system.                                                                                                                              Part of the experiments will be carried out at the two                          Chilean laboratories and the rest at the Laboratory of                          Cell Biology and Genetics at NIH in Bethesda. In this                           way, the two countries both contribute facilities and                           personnel and derive the mutual benefits of the                                 collaboration between teams of scientists on both                               sides. The partial support of the Chilean researchers                           helps fulfill the objectives of the Science in                                  Developing Countries Program.
