Monoamine Oxidase B in Renal Cell Carcinoma

Monoamine oxidase A rather than monoamine oxidase B inhibition increases nicotine reinforcement in rats.

Although nicotine is considered to be responsible for the addictive properties of tobacco, growing evidence underlines the importance of non-nicotine components in smoking reinforcement. It has been shown that tobacco smoke contains monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B inhibitors and decreases MAO-A and MAO-B activity in smokers. Here, we investigated the effects of clorgyline hydrochloride (irrever...

Molecular aspects of monoamine oxidase B Rona

An evaluation of phospholipids as regulators of monoamine oxidase A and monoamine oxidase B activities.

When rat liver mitochondria are treated with the phospholipase A2 isolated from Naja naja venom in amounts sufficient to cause about 70% loss of mitochondrial phospholipids, both of the monoamine oxidase isozymes monoamine oxidase A and monoamine oxidase B are reduced in activity. With both monoamine oxidases, phospholipase treatment affects the enzyme’s affinity for the amine substrates rather...

Prognostic value of p53 in renal cell carcinoma

Background and Objectives: RCC is one of the most common genitourinary cancers. Accurate prediction of prognosis would be valuable for adjuvant trial design, counseling and effectively scheduling follow up visits. P53 is a tumor suppressor gene that expresses a protein that involved in both cell-cycle ar...
