Intestinal Fluid and Electrolyte Movement — Medical Physiology: A Cellular And Molecular Approaoch▶ 8:57And that, in turn, provides a driving force for passive chloride absorptionThis pathway is notable because it's not inhibited by things like bacterial toxins that increase cyclic AMP or intracellular calcium, unlike some…And this leads directly to a crucial clinical application, doesn't itColonial Microorganisms & Invertebrates — Sociobiology: The New Synthesis▶ 22:21The answer is in chemical signaling and pulsingThe substance that induces aggregation, acrosyn, was identified in Dictyostelium as cyclic AMPAnd when food becomes scarce, two things happen at onceCell Signaling Explained — Molecular Biology of the Cell▶ 6:28These are small molecules generated in large numbers when a receptor is activatedThings like cyclic AMP or calcium ions, which are water soluble and diffuse to the cytosolOr diacylglycerol, which is lipid soluble and stays in the membrane
