A reliable and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of dopamine, noradrenaline, 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxy-indolacetic acid in small brain samples
Abstract
A sensitive and reliable fluorometric method for the simultaneous determination of dopamine, noradrenaline, 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxy-indol acetic acid in small samples of brain tissues is described. The procedure is based on solvent extraction; catecholamines are oxidized by the Chang's method and 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxy-indol acetic acid determined by reaction with o-phthalaldehyde, alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine causes a negligible interference with the procedure. Results of determination of these amines in different brain areas are reported.
