The effect of the neurodepressing hormone (NDH) was studied on different identified motoneurons in the abdominal ganglia of the crayfish Procambarus bouvieri (Ortmann). Although differences in sensitivity were apparent, all the neurons tested responded to NDH with a reduction in spontaneous firing rate, which lasted as long as NDH was present, and, depending on the concentration and time of action of the hormone, for even longer periods. NDH activity was determined in the various parts of the central nervous system of the crayfish, being highest in the eyestalk, gradually diminishing away from the eyestalk, with a cephalo-caudal gradient, being lowest in the abdominal ganglia. High levels of NDH activity were detected in the blood. After eyestalk ablation, NDH concentration steadily diminishes in the blood and central nervous system, until virtually disappearing after 4 days; from day 5 onwards, the activity is recovered up to its original levels. NDH synthesis takes place with a time constant of approximately 3 hr in cultured isolated segments of central nervous system, being highest in the eyestalk.
RESUMO: O uso de sacolas plásticas para o acondicionamento/transporte de produtos consumidos representa item importante de conforto e praticidade nas atividades cotidianas. O descarte inadequado constitui risco para o meio ambiente. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer e quantificar o uso e as propostas de substituição das sacolas plásticas em supermercados e verificar se as sacolas biodegradáveis realmente apresentavam a degradação descrita pelo fabricante. Desta forma, foi aplicado questionário fechado nas empresas selecionadas. As questões solicitavam informações sobre número de sacolas/mês, impacto econômico/social da proibição do uso, nível de satisfação relatado ao supermercado pelos clientes, nível de insatisfação relatado ao supermercado pelos clientes, aumento ou não da venda de sacos de lixo, existência de atividades de educação/conscientização ambiental para com os funcionários e clientes.Através das visitas aos seis supermercados, foram obtidos dados necessários à pesquisa.Esses dados foram submetidos à tabulação para a visualização dos resultados. Para a avaliação do tempo de degradação, as sacolas foram enterradas em vasos com terra comum, deixados à temperatura ambiente, 186 dias, BIOFLORA UniSALESIANO. Os
