title: Rate of dopamine metabolism in the rabbit carotid body in vivo.
abstract: In the rabbit carotid body (CB) in vivo, the rate of dopamine metabolism was estimated to 44.4 +/- 3.9 (SD) pmol/CB/h from the decrease in dihydroxyphenylacetic acid content after pargyline inhibition of monoamine oxidase.
