title: Postnatal development of dopamine deamination in the striatum of the rat.
abstract: In the striata of litter-mate rats the development of the monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity towards dopamine in vitro followed a similar time course with age as the tissue concentrations of homovanillic acid and dihydroxphenylacetic acid, the two acid metabolites of dopamine formed by the action of MAO.
