1. Phenethylamines were extracted from brain and liver of rats with phenylketonuria-like characteristics produced in vivo by inhibition of phenylalanine hydroxylase (EC 1.14.3.1) with p-chlorophenylalanine, with or without phenylalanine administration. To protect amines against oxidation by monoamine oxidase, pargyline was also administered. 2. β-Phenethylamine was the major compound found in brain and liver. β-Phenethanolamine and octopamine were also present, in lesser amounts, and the concentrations of these three amines paralleled blood phenylalanine concentrations. By comparison, tissues from control animals had only very low concentrations of these amines. 3. Small amounts of normetadrenaline, m-tyramine and 3-methoxytyramine were also found. 4. The inhibitors used, p-chlorophenylalanine and pargyline, gave rise to p-chlorophenethylamine and benzylamine respectively, the first via decarboxylation, the second probably by breakdown during extraction. 5. Distribution of phenethylamines in different brain regions and in subcellular fractions of rat brain cells was also investigated. The content of phenethylamine was highest in the striatum. 6. These findings are discussed in the light of changes occurring in human patients with uncontrolled phenylketonuria.

The effects of methylmercury (MeHg) and triethyllead (Et3Pb) were tested on the development of oligodendroglia cells (OG) in primary glia-rich cultures of rat brain cells. The marker enzyme 2'3’-cyclic nucelotide 3’-phosphodiesterase (CNP) was used as an index of OG development. The increase in CNP was followed during 1–4 weeks of exposure. MeHg at 2.5x107 and 10 8M, and Et3Pb at 2.5x10 7M, markedly inhibited the age-dependent increase in CNP shown in control cultures. CNP was highly stimulated by 2.5x10-8M Et3Pb. These observations are discussed in relation to results from experiments in vivo on CNP activities after toxic exposure.
