Fig. 9. The effect of the D2-selective agonists apomorphine and bromocriptine on
glycoprotein secretion by the albumen gland of H. duryi. The
application of apomorphine (10 µmol l-1) and bromocriptine (10
µmol l-1) had no significant effect on albumen gland protein
secretion compared with control glands incubated in saline. Positive control
glands incubated in 10 µmol l-1 dopamine showed a fivefold
increase in protein secretion compared with saline controls. Abbreviations:
CON, control; DA, dopamine; APO, apomorphine; BR, bromocriptine. Bars
represent the mean ± S.E.M. of 58 samples
(*P<0.001, Tukey test).
