Abstract
Epinephrine given intravenously or intraventricularly has a half-life in the brain of the rat of 2 to 2.5 hours. After intravenous administration of the drug the principal route of metabolism is O-methylation, whereas after intraventricular administration the principal route is conjugation.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
