[GABA fluophore formation due to ninhydrin reaction in the octanolic milieu. Fluorescence histochemical investigation. 3. Information (author's transl)].

Various steps of the ninhydrin-reaction in the octanolic milieu (Wolman 1971; Pfister and Görne 1978) were tested on the cerebellum of adult rats. The results of the fluorescence histochemical procedure was found to be in comparison with the results ascertained to spectrofluorometric method. The findings were further indicative for a GABA-specificity of the reaction.
