Abstract
Reserpine-like substances were found to be synthesized in homogenates, microsomes, and cytosol from various human and animal tissues with the utilization of acetate, methyl groups of S-adenosylmethionine, tryptophan, reserpine, etc., as precursors. It is suggested that endogenous reserpine-like substances participate in the autoregulation of the levels of free and bound biogenic amines.
