| Popis: | 1. The levels of dopamine, noradrenaline and 5-hydroxytryptamine in the nervous system of the horse-shoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, were determined fluorimetrically. 2. The amine levels in the brain were 528, 1539 and 1948 ng/g wet wt for noradrenaline, dopamine and 5-HT, respectively. 3. The amine levels in the abdominal ganglia were 1487, 2298 and 9326 ng/g wet wt for noradrenaline, dopamine and 5-HT respectively. 4. The levels for noradrenaline and 5-HT were significantly different in the two regions, while that for dopamine was not. 5. The dopamine and noradrenaline levels in the brain were also significantly different. 6. The present findings are discussed in relation to the occurrence of these amines in the nervous tissue of other anthropods. |
