Abstract
A statistically significant decrease in the intensity of catecholamine fluorescence of some carotid body glomus cells was observed after inhibition of the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase by injection of 80 mg/kg alpha-methyl-paratyrosine. The intensity of the formaldehyde-induced fluorescence was measured in individual glomus cells. The maximum decrease in the intensity was observed 4 to 6 hr after the alpha-methyltyrosine injection. This suggests a rapid turnover in the catecholamines of the carotid body.
