The characteristics of accumulation of 5 X 10 minus8M [3-H] (plus or minus)-metaraminol were studied in isolated human fallopian tube. In both the ampulla and isthmus, the amine was concentrated against the concentration gradient; Accumulation was inhibited by noradrenaline, cocaine, and ouabain but not by oxytetracycline or normetanephrine. It was concluded that [3-H] (plus or minus)-metaraminol was accumulated in the adrenergic nerves present in the human fallopian tube.
