Effects of the DA receptor Mockers spiperone ami pimozide. 5-HT alone, and 5-HT in combination with DA on the testes For each replicate of this set of experiments, 6 groups of 10 crayfish were selected from the stock. One group served as the initial control: the crayfish of this group were treated in the same way as the initial control crayfish of the DA dose-response experiment. The crayfish in the simultaneous control group received physiological saline in 100 jul doses. Two groups received 1 X 10"" mol of the DA receptor blockers spiperone and pimozide respectively in 100 n\ doses. Another group received 1 X 10 6 mol of 5-HT per crayfish in 100-^1 dose
