Summary
Injection of 0.2 cm3 of 5-HT 0.1% inCarcinus maenas has a powerful hyperglycaemic effect and determines at the same time a dispersion of the melanin granules in chromatophores of eyestalkless crabs. In both instances, 5-HT mimics the effects of the injection of an extract from the eyestalks.
