Effects of some steroids and other compounds on ovarian growth of the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, during early vitellogenesis

The effects of spiperone, a dopaminergic receptor blocker, the terpenoid JHIII, and the steroids 17α-hydroxyprogesterone and 17β-estradiol (10-7 mol/crayfish) were assayed in vivo on females of the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, during early vitellogenesis. All these compounds were injecte...
