RMRP and infection: In another example in which CHH is implicated in a pathological condition, hemolymph glucose levels in the patently infected Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus, parasitized by dinoflagellate Hematodinium sp., were dramatically decreased, indicating that the parasite, acting as a “carbohydrate sink”, was absorbing glucose from the hemolymph of the host, leading to a near depletion of the glycogen reserve in the hepatopancreas of the lobsters with late stages of patent infection (81).
