Monoamine oxidase: associations with alcohol dependence, smoking and other measures of psychopathology.
BACKGROUND Many reports have appeared on associations between platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity and susceptibility to psychiatric conditions; principally alcohol dependence but also conduct disorder, other drug use and depression. Recently, it has become apparent that MAO activity is inhibited by some component of cigarette smoke, and smokers have low platelet MAO activity. Since the pr...
متن کاملDependence on monoamine oxidase inhibitors in high dose.
A 37-year-old woman with a personality disorder and chronic dysthymia developed a dependence on MAOIs. She ingested 440 mg tranylcypromine daily without any side-effects while taking no dietary precautions. The features of MAOI dependence and their resemblance to amphetamine dependence are discussed.
متن کاملPlatelet monoamine oxidase activity predicts alcohol sensitivity and voluntary alcohol intake in rhesus monkeys
Platelet monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) has been proposed to be a biological marker for the properties of monoamine systems, with low activity being associated with vulnerability for high scores on personality traits such as sensation seeking, monotony avoidance, and impulsiveness, as well as for vulnerability for alcoholism. In the present study, platelet MAO-B activity was analysed in 78 rhesus ...
متن کاملInhibition of monoamine oxidase by stilbenes from Rheum palmatum
Seven stilbenes and one catechin were bioactivity-guidedly isolated from the rhizomes of Rheum palmatem. Their structures were identified as piceatannol(1), resveratrol(2), piceid(3), rhapontigenin(4), piceatannol-3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(5), rhaponticin(6), catechin(7) and desoxyrhapontigenin(8). Anti-monoamine oxidase (MAO) activities of compounds 1–8 were tested. Compounds 1 and 8 showed sig...
متن کاملLocalization of the imidazoline binding domain on monoamine oxidase B.
Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) was recently identified as a member of the family of imidazoline binding proteins. To localize the imidazoline binding domain on MAO-B, we labeled the domain with the imidazoline photoaffinity adduct [125I]2-(3-azido-4-iodophenoxy)methylimidazoline in rat and human liver and visualized labeled peptides by autoradiography/sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel elec...
