Modulation of the escape response by [d-Ala2]Met-enkephalin in the crab Chasmagnathus

The synthetic opioid analog [d-Ala2]Met-enkephalin (DAME) significantly reduces the escape response to a danger stimulus in the crab Chasmagnathus granulatus when administered within the dose range 0.01-1.0 μg/g. There is no reduction with lower or higher doses, thus suggesting a U-shaped dose-respo...
