Abstract
Dopamine inhibits 5-hydroxytryptamine-stimulated maturation of the ova ries of the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, in vitro just as it does in vivo. This in vitro inhibition appears to be due to inhibit ion of release of the gonad-stimulating hormone from the brain and tho racic ganglia. However, it is possible that in vivo dopamine also trig gers release of the gonad-inhibiting hormone.
