Abstract
IN previous work it was found that after the injection of norepinephrine and epinephrine in rats, a new metabolite of these compounds was excreted in the urine1. Axelrod et al. 2 have isolated recently from the urine of rats a metabolite of epinephrine and norepinephrine, which they have identified as 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy phenyl glycol. We have found that after the intravenous infusion in cats of a mixture containing both norepinephrine-7-3H and epinephrine-1-14C, a similar compound was found in the liver and kidney of this animal.
