## Abstract Melatonin was injected into intact and eyestalk‐ablated fiddler crabs (__Uca pugilator__), and its effects on hemolymph glucose and lactate levels were studied. In intact crabs, glucose and lactate levels cycled simultaneously, with peaks occurring during early and late photophase. Mela

✦ Synopsis
Blood glucose, pyruvate and lactate were examined during hospitalization of 13 cases of acute carbon monoxide poisoning developing from short (< 1.5 h) or long (10-14 h) exposure. CO intoxication resulted in increased blood levels of all carbohydrate metabolites studied. Increased levels of pyruvate and lactate were much more pronounced and lasted for a longer time following long, compared with short, CO exposure despite similar blood COHb level (about 40% at the beginning of hospitalization).
The results showed difference in biochemical effect of short and long single exposure to CO that could not be detected by the measurement of COHb.

Male Wistar rats were exposed continuously for 1 or 2 months to 25 or 100 ppm CO. The concentrations of noradrenaline in the hypothalamus, corticosterone and thyroxine in serum and of adrenal catecholamines were estimated. After exposure to 25 ppm CO no significant changes were observed in the serum
## Abstract The effect of chronic exposure to 100 ppm (0.01%) CO on pituitary‐adrenal activity was evaluated by measuring serum corticosterone and brain bioamine levels in the rat. Exposure to CO for 1 month induced a decrease in the brain serotonin levels. Serum corticosterone, brain dopamine and
