Untersuchungen zur Klärung der Funktion des Reissnerschen Fadens. In-vitro-Bindung von Noradrenalin, Adrenalin und Serotonin

Summary

The glycoprotein of Reissner's fibre is able to bind norepinephrine, epinephrine and serotonin. Bound amines can be demonstrated at the RF, even after washing with artificial cerebrospinal fluid for some, hours. It is discussed whether it is a function of the RF to remove substances, for instance biogenic amines, from the cerebrospinal fluid.
