Proctolin and an Endogenous Proctolin-Like Peptide Enhance the Contractility of the Limulus Heart [PDF]
, 1983 Synthetic proctolin increases the force but not the rate of heart contractions of Limulus in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The threshold of this effect is 3 × 10−10M and the ED50 is approximately 10−8M. At concentrations up to 10−7 M, proctolin has
