The blood of the crab Chasmagnathus granulata as a target for the hormone that raises sugar levels

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗

Updated

Abstract

Serum glucose increased significantly (P less than 0.05) after incubation of total hemolymph with eyestalk extract.

  • The hemolymph of Chasmagnathus granulata may respond to crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH).
  • Glucose uptake from blood serum was not affected by the eyestalk extract (P greater than 0.05).
  • The findings suggest that CHH may mobilize carbohydrate reserves possibly from blood cells.
