Platelet monoamine oxidase and plasma amine oxidase in psychiatric patients.
Platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) and plasma amine oxidase (PAO) activities were determined in 70 normal controls and 76 psychiatric patients. Platelet MAO activity did not differ between the normal controls and patients diagnosed as schizophrenic or primary affective illness, although there was a strong trend for chronic schizophrenics to have lower MAO activity. Schizophrenic patients with Sch...
متن کاملHuman Plasma Monoamine Oxidase
Although this human plasma enzyme was shown (1) to have certain characteristics in common with plasma amine oxidases from other mammals (2-6), it could be distinguished from these other plasma enzymes by its substrate specificity. During studies relating to the substrate specificity of the human enzyme, the oxidation of aliphatic amines was noted to have a number of distinctive kinetic features...
متن کاملHuman Plasma Monoamine Oxidase
Amine oxidases that occur in the plasma of mammals have been intensively studied in recent years (l-8). The ability of human plasma and serum to convert benzylamine to benzaldehyde has recently been demonstrated (9). Evidence has been presented to show that this enzymatic activity is different from other human plasma enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of amines (i.e. ceruloplasmin and diamine ...
متن کاملPlatelet monoamine oxidase activity and headache.
Mean platelet monoamine oxidase activity was reduced compared with control values in groups of headache-free male (but not female) patients suffering from classical migraine and from tension headache. Mean activity in male cluster patients, headache free, both during acute and quiescent phases of their illness, was also notably reduced. Retesting some migraine subjects after up to four years, s...
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 ...
