Fig. 1. The effect of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) concentration on in situ
Na+/K+-ATPase activity (measured as ouabain-sensitive
Rb+ uptake) in kidney (A) and gill (B) tissue. Samples were
pre-incubated for 10 min with the dose indicated before the Rb+
uptake assay. Different letters indicate significant difference
(P<0.05). Values are means ± S.E.M. (N=8).

Fig. 2. The effect of pre-incubation time with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on in
situ Na+/K+-ATPase activity (measured as
ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake) in kidney (A) and gill (B) tissue.
The samples were pre-incubated with SNP (1 mmol l1) for the
time indicated before the Rb+ uptake assay. Different letters
indicate significant difference (P<0.05). Values are means
± S.E.M. (N=8).

Fig. 3. The effect of the nitric oxide (NO) donors sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 1
mmol l1) and papa-nonoate (NOC-15; 0.2 mmol
l1) on in situ Na+/K+-ATPase
activity (measured as ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake) in kidney (A)
and gill (B) tissue. Samples were pre-incubated for 10 min with the NO donors
before the Rb+ uptake assay. Different letters indicate significant
difference (P<0.05). Values are means ± S.E.M.
(N=8).

Fig. 4. The effect of sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 0.5 mmol l1) on
in situ Na+/K+-ATPase activity (measured as
ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake) in kidney (A) and gill (B) tissue
incubated in the presence or absence of the nitric oxide scavenger
2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide (PTIO; 1 mmol
l1). Samples were pre-incubated for 10 min before the
Rb+ uptake assay. Different letters indicate significant difference
(P<0.05). Values are means ± S.E.M. (N=8).

Fig. 5. Effect of sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 1 mmol l1) and
dibutyryl cyclic GMP (db-cGMP; 1 mmol l1) on in
situ Na+/K+-ATPase activity (measured as
ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake) in kidney (A) and gill (B) tissue.
Samples were pre-incubated for 10 min before the Rb+ uptake assay.
Different letters indicate significant difference (P<0.05). Values
are means ± S.E.M. (N=8).
