Determination of methionine-enkephalin, norepinephrine, dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (HVA) in brain by high-pressure liquid chromatography with electrochemical detector. 1982

High-pressure liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection is utilized in a procedure for the determination of methionine-enkephalin (MET-ENK), norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (HVA) in same brain tissue samples. The high degree of selectivity and sensitivity (picomole limits for each component) makes this technique directly applicable to extremely small samples. After optimal conditions had been established, the procedure was employed in the determination of MET-ENK, NE, DA, DOPAC and HVA contents in whole brains, 7 discrete brain areas of mice and rats.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
