title: [Catecholamines and DOPA in the amniotic fluid and amnion of the chick embryo].
abstract: Identification and quantitative fluorimetric assay have been made on the content of DOPA, dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline in the amniotic fluid and amnion of the developing chick embryos. Significant increase in the content of DOPA, noradrenaline and adrenaline in the amniotic fluid was observed between the 6th and the 13th days of incubation; dopamine content sharply decreases at the 13th day. The content on amines in the amnion tissue remained essentially constant throughout the investigated period. The role of catecholamine in amniotic fluid in regulation of contractile activity of amniotic membrane in the developing chick embryo is discussed.
