| Abstract: | Abstract: Bullfrog spinal ganglia were subjected to two types of examination to determine whether catecholamines were present. A biochemical microassay developed by Kissinger and co-workers and a histofluorescence technique for cellular demonstration of biogenic monoamines developed earlier by Falck and co-workers were used. Bullfrog spinal ganglia and dorsal roots were found to contain catecholamines, primarily adrenaline. |
