A fluorimetric method for the determination of small amounts of 3-methoxytyramine, (MT), in tissues is described. After separation on ion-exchange column, MT is converted to a strongly fluorescent compound. Interference of dopamine (DA), is eliminated either by column separation or differential oxidation. MT is demonstrated in brain of some mammals indicating a role of catecholO-methyl transferase in the degradation of DA in this tissue. (Author)
