    The polyamines spermine and spermidine can be metabolized by polyamine oxidases in two ways, oxidative determination or oxidative cleavage (

    ) (
    see
    Chapter 1 ). An example of the former is the amine oxidase present in bovine (and other ruminant) sera (
    3
    ) that deaminates polyamines in accordance with Fig. 1. In contrast, tissue polyamine oxidase (typified by rat liver polyamine oxidase) (

    ) cleaves spermine or spermidine with the release of an aminopropyl moiety (Fig. 2 ).Fig. 1.
