title: Brain and plasma biogenic amines analysis by the EC-HPLC technique: application to fish.
abstract: A HPLC technique has been developed for the analysis of biogenic amines (noradrenaline, NA; dopamine, DA; adrenaline, A; serotonin, 5-HT) in tissues and blood and then applied to fish. It appears that when compared to classical methods, HPLC is more rapid and reliable with a lower variation in the results. This technique showed that in eel blood, 5-HT and DA (and their metabolites) are missing or at least are present at very low concentrations.
