Abstract
Cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) has been the least studied biogenic diamine in mammals. The presence of other polyamines in animal tissues in much higher concentrations than cadaverine was one reason for this preferential attention (1). In addition to the reported absence of cadaverine in the brain (2) it has been assumed that if detected, the presence of cadaverine was the result of either microbial metabolism in the intestine (3) or of tissue putrefaction (4).
