Summary High performance liquid chromatography of alumina extracts of several tissues inPolyorchis penicillatus show the presence of dopamine and a catecholamine resembling norepinephrine. Dopamine is found in the highest concentrations in nerve-rich tissue (120 fmol·mg wet wt−1), at intermediate concentrations in endoderm-rich tissue (30 fmol·mg−1), and at the lowest concentrations in the mesoglea (10 fmol·mg−1). The presence of dopamine was confirmed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with negative ion chemical ionization, but norepinephrine and epinephrine could not be detected in nerve-rich tissue.
