Abstract

1. A higher concentration of polyamines (spermine, spermidine, putrescine and cadaverine) during development of the chick embryo was observed between the fifth and tenth day of incubation; the concentrations of nucleic acids showed a parallel increase. 2. When spermine (5mumoles) was injected into the yolk sac of embryos at the tenth day of incubation, a high amine-oxidase activity was noted and the spermine and spermidine concentrations were decreased; also, there was a remarkable decrease in RNA and DNA concentrations and a parallel increase in that of total free nucleotides. 3. On the other hand, when iproniazid (16mumoles) was injected there was an inhibition of amine-oxidase activity and a similar increase in the concentrations of spermine and spermidine and of nucleic acids, whereas that of total free nucleotides decreased. 4. Another group of embryos injected with spermine and iproniazid together showed a remarkable increase in spermine and spermidine concentrations and a parallel increase in those of RNA and DNA, and a decrease in that of total free nucleotides.
