PG  - 211-7
AB  - Monoamine-oxidase (MAO) activity was detected in rat pineal gland with dopamine, 
      5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine and tryptamine as substrates, and 
      nitroblue tetrazolium salt as electron acceptor. Pinealocytes stained deeply when 
      5-HT was the substrate. Dopamine and tryptamine substrates gave similar patterns, 
      with moderate activity in the pinealocytes. Norepinephrine reactivity was 
      detected in the nerve-endings.
