  • Title: [Localization of biogenic monoamines in the dura mater of the rat brain].
    Author: Motavkin PA, Karedina VS, Kozhevnikova TA.
    Journal: Arkh Anat Gistol Embriol; 1985 May; 88(5):11-6. PubMed ID: 2862857.
    Abstract:
    Quantitative and qualitative composition of catecholamines (noradrenaline and dophamine) and indolalkylamines (serotonin and tryptamine) and their localization have been studied in cells and neural fibers of the rat dura mater. Luminiscent-cytophotometric and electron microscopic methods have revealed two types of cells depositing biogenic monoamines. As demonstrate the experiments with rausedil injection, monoaminocytes of the first type (mast cells) contain predominantly indolalkylamines and a small amount of dophamine. Monoaminocytes of the second type (chromaffin cells) synthesize mainly serotonin and, perhaps, tryptamine. In adrenergic neural fibers only noradrenaline has been found to be present.
