| Popis: | A statistically significant decrease in the intensity of catecholamine fluorescence of some carotid body glomus cells was observed after inhibition of the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase by injection of 80 mg/kg α-methylparatyrosine. The intensity of the formaldehyde-induced fluorescene was measured in individual glomus cells. The maximum decrease in the intensity was observed 4–6 h after the a-methylparatyrosine injection. This suggests a rapid turnover in the catecholamines of carotid body. |
