FIGURE 5.
Glucose (A), octopine (B), and arginine (C) levels in mantle muscle sheets immediately following intense contractility. One of two paired mantle sheets from cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) was stimulated to contract for 30 s at 3 Hz simulating jetting behavior and thereafter analyzed. Open bars represent unstimulated preparations; stippled bars indicate preparations that were stimulated. Text below x-axis shows additions to media. For IAA additions, preparations were incubated for 10 min prior to stimulation. N = 6 under all conditions. Box and whisker plots show the range and median value.
