Abstract
Norepinephrine has been identified chemically as a normal constituent of brain.
A simple, rapid fluorometric method for the estimation of catechol amines in brain and other tissues is described.
The procedure involves extraction of catechol amines from tissue homogenates into butanol. After returning the amines to an aqueous phase, they are oxidized to form fluorescent derivatives which are measured in a spectrofluorometer.
