Abstract
Summary
A method based on the ultraviolet spectrum of salicylaldehyde and salicylic acid is presented for the study of liver aldehyde oxidase. By the use of this method it was observed that aldehyde oxidase is inhibited by epinephrine and other adrenergic amines as well as by adrenergic blocking agents. It was observed that inhibition by the first group of substances is reversible and competitive while inhibition by adrenolytic drugs is irreversible and non-competitive.
