Kinetic measurements of the turnover rates of phenylethylamine and tryptamine in vivo in the rat brain

Abstract

The turnover rates of phenylethylamine and tryptamine have been estimated as their rates of accumulation after inhibition of monoamine oxidase by pargyline and were found to be 1.53 nmol/g/h and 0.24 nmol/g/h, respectively. Rate constants for the substrate activities of these …
