Abstract
The concentrations of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate in the brains of audiogenic and normal mice were measured fluorimetrically. The brain of the audiogenic mouse (DBA/2J) contains 25% more pyridoxal-5'-phosphate than the brain of a control mouse. Intraperitoneal injection of this substance causes a transient increase of its concentration in the brain, lasting a few hours. The substance thereafter is degraded to pyridoxal and pyridoxic acid.
