Demonstration of exocytosis in the sinus gland of Astacus Leptodactylus (Nordmann) under the influence of serotonin injections

Following a serotonin injection, a rise of exocytosis in the sinus gland of the crayfish Astacus leptodactylus is observed together with an increase of the glucose level in the hemolymph. The phenomenon of exocytosis reaches a peak between 2 and 4 h after injection, wheras the highest glucose level...
