Fig. 8. Results of cross-adaptation experiments to (A) putrescine (Put; 950
µmol l1), (B) cadaverine (Cad; 2040 µmol
l1) or (C) spermine (Spe; 27 µmol
l1). The adapting solution in AC is underlined. Bars
indicate percentage of unadapted response (mean ± S.D.). Numbers
associated with each bar indicate the number of fish tested for each odorant.
L-arginine (Arg; 0.11 mmol l1); L-lysine,
(Lys; 0.11 mmol l1); L-methionine (Met;
0.10.5 mmol l1); L-ornithine (Orn;
0.11 mmol l1); amylamine (Amy; 0.030.5 mmol
l1); butylamine (But; 0.050.5 mmol
l1). Response magnitudes to test stimuli (AC) are
significantly greater than the response magnitude to the adapting solution
(one-way ANOVA; Tukey's post hoc test, P<0.05).
