HISTOCHEMICAL DEMONSTRATION OF NORADRENALINE AND ADRENALINE IN THE ADRENAL MEDULLA

Abstract

The optimal conditions for the histochemical demonstration of noradrenaline in the adrenal medulla by selective pigment formation at potassium iodate oxidation have been investigated. In addition the classical chromaffine reaction has been modified for the simultaneous demonstration of adrenaline and noradrenaline.
