title: Quantification of the mass of tyrosine monooxygenase in the median eminence and superior cervical ganglion.
abstract: A procedure is described that enables one to quantify the mass of TH in a fraction of the ME and SCG of rats. This procedure is specific and sensitive. It should be possible to study the biosynthetic activity of catecholaminergic neurons as a function of the mass of TH in such cells.
