Abstract

The spectral properties of the noradrenaline storage vesicles of bovine splenic nerves are essentially the same as those recently reported for the adrenal chromaffin granules (T. Flatmark, O. Terland and K.B. Helle, Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 226 (1971) 9) indicating the presence of flavoprotein(s) and a high-potential b-type cytochrome termed cytochrome b 561. The specific activities of NADH : (acceptor) oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.99.3) were higher than those previously found in the adrenal granules. Based on the assay of these enzymic activities, the flavoprotein(s) also appear to be more stable in the nerve granules than in the adrenal granules upon prolonged storage of the organelles at 0 c.
