Abstract

Thein vitro metabolism of14C-cadaverine by diamine oxidase was investigated in various tissues of pregnant and non-pregnant rats. The metabolites formed were: Δ1-piperideine, δ-aminovaleric acid, carbon dioxide and some unidentified compound(s). In most of the tissues investigated Δ1-piperideine was the predominant metabolite, but considerable amounts of δ-aminovaleric acid and the unidentified compound(s) were also formed. The oxidative products of cadaverine might be of importance in various physiological and pathophysiological connections associated with elevated diamine oxidase levels.
