Q

Half life of catecholamines

A

Less than 2 minutes - extremely short

Q

Clearance of catecholamines

A

Uptake by both neuronal and non neuronal tissues

Recycled or degraded by either monoamine oxidase (MAO-B) or Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT)

Consider use of MAOB inhibitors and COMT inhibitors in Parkinson’s disease
