Fig. 4. Gramine suppresses serotonin-stimulated pumping in wild-type worms. 1
µmol l-1 serotonin induces rapid pharyngeal pumping
(P<0.0001). Addition of 100 µmol l-1 gramine
suppresses serotonin-stimulated pumping (P<0.0001). However,
serotonin still has residual effects on pumping rate in the presence of 100
µmol l-1 gramine (P<0.005). Values are means +
S.E.M. Significant differences between the indicated measurement and data
recorded * in the absence of drug or
in the
presence of 1 µmol l-1 serotonin.
