β¦ Synopsis
Regional choline (Ch) and acetylcholine (ACh) in rat brain were clearly determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. The method is based on that of Potter et al.: the hydrogen peroxide that is enzymatically produced from both compounds is measured and a successful improvement of the method, particularly for purification, is described. Recoveries were 96.1 +/- 1.4% for Ch and 95.6 +/- 2.2% for ACh and amounts as low as 10 pmol could be determined. Prior to measuring the compounds, a newly developed magnetic field microwave instrument (10 kW) was utilized for the rapid inactivation of brain enzymes. The levels of Ch and ACh in brain regions were compared with those reported elsewhere.
