In a previous study, a high dosage (2.0 micrograms) of arginine vasotocin (AVT), following 10 micrograms of dichloroisoproterenol, induced oviposition in Anolis carolinensis at the end of the breeding season. The present study determined if a lower dosage of AVT (0.25 microgram), comparable to that effective in other lizard species, would induce oviposition in cycling A. carolinensis. Only a high dosage of AVT (2.0 micrograms), following 10 micrograms of dichloroisoproterenol 15 min beforehand, induced oviposition. These results suggest that uterine smooth muscle of A. carolinensis is relatively insensitive to AVT.
在之前的一项研究中,在繁殖季节结束时,10微克二氯异丙肾上腺素之后给予高剂量(2.0微克)的精氨酸血管加压素(AVT),可诱导卡罗来纳安乐蜥产卵。本研究确定了与其他蜥蜴物种有效剂量相当的较低剂量AVT(0.25微克)是否会诱导处于发情周期的卡罗来纳安乐蜥产卵。只有在预先15分钟给予10微克二氯异丙肾上腺素之后给予高剂量AVT(2.0微克)才能诱导产卵。这些结果表明,卡罗来纳安乐蜥的子宫平滑肌对AVT相对不敏感。
