## Abstract The distribution of polyamines, putrescine, spermidine, and spermine is reported in the tissues of the lizard, __Calotes versicolor.__ The levels of spermidine and spermine are higher than those of putrescine in all tissues and most tissues have more spermine than spermidine. Enzymatic

## Abstract The activities of ornithine decarboxylase and Sβadenosylmethionine decarboxylase, two key enzymes in polyamine metabolism, were determined during the first 10 days of imaginal life in the nervous tissue and the fat body of the adult cricket __Acheta domesticus.__ The kinetic constants o
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity of rat tissues was measured by the standard 14CO2 trapping method after frozen storage (-60 or -70 degrees C) of the tissues or their 105,000g supernatants. True ODC activity was determined by two methods: (a) addition of the inhibitors alpha-difluoromethylorni
## Abstract We previously reported that prolactin (PRL) could increase the activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in liver slices taken from larval tiger salamanders (__Ambystoma tigrinum__). This action of the hormone was inhibited by oxytocin (OT), the calcium ionophore A23187, and diacyglycer
