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.
