Resumen:
We propose the hypothesis that the observed hypoglycemia was caused by both heavy metals through inhibition of CHH secretion from the eyestalks. However, ans alternative hypothesis that those heavy metals antagonize the hormone action at target tissues merits investigation. This study is aimed therefore at testing this latter hypothesis.
