The activity of cytochrome oxidase (an inner mitochondrial membrane marker) in mouse mammary gland homogenates was found to increase five- to sixfold from late pregnancy to day 8 of lactation, while that of monoamine oxidase (an outer membrane marker) increased only about 25%. The specific activity of cytochrome oxidase in the isolated mitochondria decreased slightly over the same period while ...

Inhibitions of the relatively highly purified flavoenzyme, bovine kidney mitochondrial monoamine oxidase, previously described in Paper I (Erwin, V. G., and Hellerman, L., J. Biol. Gem., 242, 4230 (1967)), by several agents of current interest have been investigated. The inhibitors include Nmethyl-N-(Z-propynyl)benzylamine (pargyline), (+)-fransphenylcyclopropylamine (d form of tranylcypromine)...

comparisons be possible. The real differences in surgical mortality that do exist between surgeons and centres may teach important lessons. One study compared mortality between a teaching hospital and its adjacent district hospital and led to a proper intensive care unit being provided in the district hospital. 14 The confidential inquiry into perioperative deaths emphasised the value of regula...

Extensive use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors and imipramine in psychiatric practice has revealed serious toxic reactions.
