Inhibition of DOPA Decarboxylase in Vitro and in Vivo

A large literature has been devoted to the physiological functions of these amines, and current work is being done. Many investigators believe that most, if not all, of them exert their effects on the cardiovascular and nervous system primarily by interaction with specialized chemical processes at synaptic junctions where nerve impulses are transmitted by release and diffusion of neurohumoral transmitters, such as acetylcholine and norepinephrine. A neurohumoral transmitter is thought of as a substance that is synthesized and found
