A method for the measurement of S-adenosylmethionine in cerebrospinal fluid and brain using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection is described. The method is based upon the catechol O-methyltransferase-catalyzed methylation of dihydroxybenzylamine to its 3- and 4-methoxy derivatives and measurement
