  • Title: Determination of putrescine in brain tissue using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
    Author: Noto T, Hasegawa T, Kamimura H, Nakao J, Hashimoto H, Nakajima T.
    Journal: Anal Biochem; 1987 Feb 01; 160(2):371-5. PubMed ID: 3578766.
    Abstract:
    We used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to assay putrescine in minute regions of single rat brains. Acid extraction, partial purification on Amberlite CG 120, and derivatization with pentafluoropropionic anhydride preceded the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A moving-needle solventless system and a direct inlet system were also used to increase sensitivity. Putrescine was measured accurately at the picomole level; the mean concentration of this polyamine in five regions of rat brain found by this method was 2.7-3.8 times higher than reported by other researchers.
