Abstract: Cultures from cerebral heimspheres of newborn rats contain the enzymes monoamine oxidase (MAO), catechol‐O‐methyltransferase (COMT), and α‐aminobutyric acid γ‐ketoglutarate transaminase (GABA‐T). The COMT activity was higher in the cultures than in adult rat cerebral hemispheres. The MAO activity was comparable in the cultures and in the rat cerebral hemispheres. The activities of both these enzymes increased with age in the cultures and in the rat brain hemispheres. In the culture the activities were further potentiated by removal of fetal calf serum and addition of 0.1 mM dibutyryl‐cyclic AMP (dB‐cAMP). GABA‐T activity was, however, lower in the cultures than in the adult rat brain hemispheres. The activity increased in brain during postnatal maturation. No changes in the enzyme activity were observed in the cultures, either during growth or after removal of fetal calf serum and addition of dB‐cAMP.
