...Patricia Gassó; Miquel Bernardo; Sergi Mas; Anna Crescenti; Clemente Garcia; Eduard Parellada; Amalia Lafuente Background: Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) enzyme is involved in the oxidative metabolism of dopamine. We studied whether the A644G polymorphism in intron 13 of the MAO-B gene is a risk...

...Britt Af Klinteberg; Jarmila Hallman; Lars Oreland; Ann Wirsén; Sten E. Levander; Daisy Schalling Platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity and serum levels of the adrenal androgen metabolite dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHAS) were measured in 18 male air force pilot recruits and 19 randomly...

...Charles R. Ashby, Jr.; Laurence A. Carr; Christine Cook; Margaret M. Steptoe; Darrell D. Franks The present study determined the kinetic properties of platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) in patients with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and control subjects during the pre- and postmenstrual intervals...

...-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, platelet serotonin uptake and efflux, platelet monoamine oxidase and glutathione perixodase activities, and uric acid and plasma tryptophan, the origin(s) of such hyperserotonemia in autism appear(s) to be of metabolic origin, i.e., a decreased catabolism and/or an increased biosynthesis...

...Marvin Zuckerman Mania is a clinical state that could be described as sensation seeking behavior out of control. This article describes the biochemical correlates of the sensation seeking trait in normals including: gonadal hormones, monoamine oxidase, CSF norepinephrine, plasma dopamine-beta...

...Ruth Feine; Robert H. Belmaker; Ranan Rimon; Richard P. Ebstein Platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) and RBC catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) were studied in 12 women suffering from premenstrual syndrome. No significant variation of platelet MAO or RBC COMT was found during the menstrual cycle...

...Lipa Cicin-Sain; Ana Matosic; Gordana Mokrovic; Melita Balija; Srdjan Marusic; Branimir Jernej In trying to dissociate the effect of alcohol and tobacco use on platelet monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) activity, we compared the enzyme kinetics in controls (n = 66) and alcohol-dependent patients (n = 81...

... longitudinal data, a sample of males with a history of early criminal behaviour and male controls (n = 103) were investigated concerning (1) teacher-rated behaviours at age 11–14 years; (2) platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity and tri-iodothyronine (T 3 ) level at adult age; (3) registered early...

...Eva Longato-Stadler; Britt af Klinteberg; Håkan Garpenstrand; Lars Oreland; Jarmila Hallman Background: A Swedish male criminal population was grouped into personality disorder subgroups and investigated with regard to personality traits and platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity. The main aim...
