| Abstract: | Summary Exposure of the fiddler crab,Uca pugilator, to the PCB preparation, Aroclor 1242, produces an increase in the quantity of neurosecretory material in the medulla terminalis X-organ. This Aroclor apparently inhibits release, but not synthesis, of one or more neurohormones.This investigation was supported by grant PCM75-03029 A01 from the National Science Foundation. |
