摘要: Abstract We have identified, by TLC, the product from reaction between 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHF) and β-phenylethylamine (βφEA) in rat brain extracts as methylene-β-phenylethylimine (MβφEI), a Schiff-base compound produced when formaldehyde, enzymatically formed 5-MTHF, condenses with amine. The formation of MβφEI various regions, ranging 517 ± 56 pmol per mg protein hour corpus striatum to 118 9 hippocampus, is significantly correlated that 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline 5-MTHF tryptamine (r = 0.88; p
