Use of Tyrosine or Foods to Amplify Catecholamine Release.

Abstract

Grant funds were used to purchase a multi-detector liquid chromatography system consisting of: BioRad AS-48 refrigerated automatic injector; Hewlett-Packard HP1090 with workstation, software, and fast UV-Vis spectral detector, Berthold LB 506-C radiosotope detector, and an ESA 5100A Coulochem detector. The major equipment has been used to compare several methods of amino acid analysis. At present, we are using pre-column derivitization with OPT with full-spectrum detection. The initial studies have focussed on resolving threonine, glycine, and histidine peaks for a study of CSF samples. Work is beginning on our project on amino acid analysis of retinal superfusates (and, possibly, tissues). (AW)
