Zusammenfassung

Die Konzentration von Noradrenalin und die Aktivität der MAO und COMT wurde in verschiedenen Teilen des menschlichen foetalen Herzens bestimmt. Die Ventrikel der Herzen (bis zu 12 Wochen alt) waren sehr noradrenalinarm. Die COMT-Aktivität des rechten Vorhofs war bis zur Mitte der Schwangerschaft viel niedriger als die der übrigen Herzgebiete. Die COMT- und MAO-Aktivität im Gewebe des Spatium zwischen der Aorta und der Arteria pulmonalis lag ungefähr in der gleichen Grössenordnung wie die der Ventrikel.
