Platelet monoamine oxidase activity in alcoholics with and without a family history of alcoholism [PDF]
A number of studies point at platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity being reduced in alcoholics with a family history of drinking, this being a possible vulnerability marker for alcoholism.

Histamine intolerance caused by Diamine Oxidase (DAO) deficiency – case report
Histamine is a biogenic amine, which occurs naturally in the human body. Histamine can be metabolised with Diamine Oxidase (DAO) Enzyme. It is estimated that in 1% of people, as a result of an imbalance between the supply and degradation of histamine, a ...

Extended Linear Response for Bioanalytical Applications Using Multiple Enzymes [PDF]
We develop a framework for optimizing a novel approach to extending the linear range of bioanalytical systems and biosensors by utilizing two enzymes with different kinetic responses to the input chemical as their substrate. Data for the flow-injection amperometric system devised for detection of lysine based on the function of L-Lysine-alpha-Oxidase ...

A Peroxisomal Lon Protease and Peroxisome Degradation by Autophagy Play Key Roles in Vitality of Hansenula polymorpha Cells [PDF]
In eukaryote cells various mechanisms exist that are responsible for the removal of non-functional proteins. Here we show that in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha (H.

Benzo[b]tiophen-3-ol derivatives as effective inhibitors of human monoamine oxidase: design, synthesis, and biological activity [PDF]
A series of benzo[b]thiophen-3-ols were synthesised and investigated as potential human monoamine oxidase (hMAO) inhibitors in vitro as well as ex vivo in rat cortex synaptosomes by means of evaluation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid/dopamine (DOPAC/DA)

The role of “semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase” in the arterial wall
“Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase” (SSAO) metabolizes primary amines into aldehydes, hydrogen peroxide and ammonia and is largely expressed in adipocytes, lymphatic endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In vitro SSAO expression

Serum level of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase in children with ADHD
Background The objective of this study was to analyze the extracellularly acting semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) serum levels in children with ADHD for the first time. SSAO is known to show deviations from normal in various somatic disorders
