Abstract
AbstractHomogenates of the liver, the kidneys and the brain of the hedgehog, Erinaceus europaeus,. have been tested for monoamine oxidase activity. The enzyme was present in all 3 tissues, and the enzyme was found to act on all the substrates known to be oxidised by other mammalian sources of the enzyme. When the rates of oxidation of tyramine and /?‐phenylethylamine were compared, it was found that the relative rate of the latter amine in liver was about 3 times that found for kidneys. In the brain the position seems to be intermediate.
