Neurotransmitter content of mouse brain after inactivation by microwave heating
Abstract
Mice were sacrificed by either microwave inactivation of brain enzymes or by cervical dislocation. The norepinephrine, serotonin, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and homovanillic acid content of the brains of the irradiated animals was significantly greater than that of the conventionally sacrificed controls.
