Bars show results of neuronal and hormonal manipulation in terms of normalized fluorescent area in interradial membranes of E. pellucida before (white bars) and after treatment (shaded bars, respectively). Neuronal K⁺ stimulation significantly decreased fluorescent area (paired t-test, t = 10.5, df = 5, p<0.005). The Lidocain-treatment effectively inhibited this effect (paired t-test, t = 1.86, df = 4, p>0.13). Neurotransmitter-induced aggregation of fluorosomes (NA) was highly significant (paired t-test, t = 4.67, df = 9, p<0.001). Aggregation induced by MCH was significant (paired t-test, t = 5.19, df = 3, p<0.013) as well as α–MSH significantly induced dispersal in pre-aggregated cells (paired Wilcoxon, Z = 10.5, df = 5, p = 0.03). Bars include standard errors.
