Abstract

1. (-)-Noradrenaline at physiological concentrations, is 70% bound by serum from mature female fowl but only 17% bound by serum from mature male fowl and immature fowl of either sex. 2. The increased binding capacity in the female fowl is associated with higher levels of serum lipoproteins, density < 1·064 g/ml, and also with an increased binding to unidentified constituents in the serum. 3. (-)-Noradrenaline is 35% bound by serum from the rat. There is no effect of age and only a small sex difference in the binding capacity of rat serum.
