title: Blood polyamines in the rat.
abstract: The physiological concentrations of polyamines in plasma, serum and red blood cells were determined in male Wistar rats, using HPLC with fluorometric detection. The analysis of the metabolic ratio between polyamines and the frontal cortex/plasma relationship for putrescine, spermidine and spermine, suggest the existence of common mechanisms in the regulation of spermidine in blood and brain.
