Notes:
Summary Serotonin was not found in the oviducts ofBlabera gigantea, Clitumnus extradentatus nor in the uterus ofGlossina, but it is present in the uterus ofBlabera. It is also found in the central nervous system of all three insects. In vitro experiments confirm these data by showing that serotonin increases the contractions of the uterus ofBlabera, but has no effect on the uterus ofGlossina.
