Abstract
Estimation of the relative importance of platelets, lungs, liver and peripheral vascular beds in removing this amine from the circulation of the dog shows that the lungs are most active in this respect, and can remove more than 90 per cent in one circulation. This removal does not depend on monoamineoxidase activity.
