Abstract
Summary
Succinic dehydrogenase activity of anterior and posterior hypothalamic areas (HSD) was measured by the reduction of a tetrazolium salt to its colorimetrically measurable formazan. The potent monoamine oxidase inhibitor, beta-phenylisopropylhydrazine, significantly reduced HSD activity in both anterior and posterior areas of adult rats and deer mice but not of hamsters. Other monoamine oxidase inhibitors, epinephrine and several other amines were without significant effects on HSD.
