ABSTRACT
The monoamine and catabolite contents of a large number of rabbit (n = 95) and cat (n = 32) carotid bodies (CBs) have been measured by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ED). The dopamine (DA) content as well as that of its precursors tyrosine (TYR), dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) and catabolites dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanilic acid (HVA) were approximately equal in both species. The noradrenaline (NA) content was 10 times larger in the cat than in the rabbit CBs. Twenty-nine out of the 32 cat CBs contained more NA than DA while the reverse was true in 92 out of 95 rabbit CBs. In 11 cats the right CB was sympathectomized and its DA and NA contents were compared to those of intact contralateral organs.
