title: Disposition of norepinephrine and epinephrine in jejunum of WLH chicken.
abstract: Disposition of (-)-norepinephrine and (-)-epinephrine in jejunum of WLH chicken was studied using oil-immersion technique. The relative rate of different routes of disposition of catecholamines was in the following order: for (-)-NE COMT greater than or equal to MAO greater than or equal to U2 greater than U1, for (-)-Epi U2 greater than or equal to COMT greater than MAO greater than U1. The role of enzymatic degradation is almost equal to that of uptake processes for (-)-Epi, but it was greater for (-)-NE.
