Demographic, biologic, and other variables affecting monoamine oxidase activity.
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity has been shown to be influenced by a variety of demographic, biologic, and other variables. Human platelet, plasma, and brain enzyme activities correlate with age and are higher in women. Brain catecholamines tend to decrease with age. The acute effects of ethanol on platelet MAO do not appear to be significant, but chronic ethanol ingestion could influence enzy...

متن کاملPlatelet monoamine oxidase activity in Huntington's chorea.
The possibility that genetically determined abnormalities in the monoamine oxidase of certain central nervous system aminergic neurones may play a part in the pathology of Huntington's chorea was investigated using human platelet monoamine oxidase. Significantly elevated monoamine oxidase activity was found in male patients compared to control subjects suggesting this may be a screening test fo...
متن کاملPlatelet monoamine oxidase activity in megaloblastic anaemia.
Platelet monoamine oxidase activity has been measured in 17 patients with megaloblastic anaemia due to either vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, and in 20 healthy subjects. There was a highly significant increase in patients compared with controls. In two patients, platelet activity decreased following successful treatment. A significant correlation between platelet activity and the severity of ...
