Effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine antibodies on pigment migration in the erythrophores of the fiddler crab, Uca pugilator: further evidence for 5-hydroxytryptamine as a neurotransmitter that stimulates release of red pigment-dispersing hormone.
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) antibodies inhibit red pigment dispersion in the fiddler crab, Uca pugilator. This observation supports the hypothesis that 5-HT stimulates release of red pigment-dispersing hormone.
