A rapid, simplified procedure for simultaneous assay of norepinephrine, dopamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine from discrete brain areas

Brain, NE, DA, and 5-HT can be assayed simultaneously from discrete samples by this method, which is based upon the alumina method described by Anton and Sayre, utilizing acid extraction of tissues and a single solvent step. Oxidation and determination of both NE and DA take place in a single sample...

Zusammenfassung:Brain, NE, DA, and 5-HT can be assayed simultaneously from discrete samples by this method, which is based upon the alumina method described by Anton and Sayre, utilizing acid extraction of tissues and a single solvent step. Oxidation and determination of both NE and DA take place in a single sample and may be completed within 1–1.5 hr. Basic extractions of 5-HT and the development of a tissue blank procedure permit the accurate application of the ninhydrin reaction to the determination of 5-HT, resulting in greatly increased sensitivity.
