Platelet monoamine oxidase activity in diabetics.
Platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity was determined, using benzylamine as substract. Results are expressed as nM benzaldehyde/mg protein hour, at 37”. A total of 79 diabetics (40 M and 39 F) ranging in age from 3 to 70 years was studied.

Association between plasma activities of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase and angiotensin-converting enzyme in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Aims/hypothesis: Plasma semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) is elevated in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetic late complications. The regulation of SSAO production remains unknown.

Highly efficient oxidation of amines to aldehydes via flow-based biocatalysis [PDF]
A new mild and efficient process for the preparation of aldehydes in water employed as flavour and fragrance components in food, beverage, cosmetics, as well as in pharmaceuticals was developed using a continuous-flow approach based on an immobilized ...

A rapid, sensitive colorimetric assay for the high-throughput screening of transaminases in liquid or solid-phase [PDF]
A new colorimetric method has been developed to screen transaminases using an inexpensive amine donor. The assay is sensitive, has a low level of background coloration, and can be used to identify and profile transaminase activities against aldehyde and ...

N-methyl-N-((1-methyl-5-(3-(1-(2-methylbenzyl)piperidin-4-yl)propoxy)-1H-indol-2-yl)methyl)prop-2-yn-1-amine, a new cholinesterase and monoamine oxidase dual inhibitor [PDF]
On the basis of N-((5-(3-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)propoxy)-1-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)methyl)-N-methylprop-2-yn-1-amine (II, ASS234) and QSAR predictions, in this work we have designed, synthesized, and evaluated a number of new indole derivatives from which ...

Pesticide Exposure Alters Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Levels in Mexican Agricultural Workers [PDF]
Organophosphorous pesticides (OPs) are suspected of altering reproductive function by reducing brain acetylcholinesterase activity and monoamine levels, thus impairing hypothalamic and/or pituitary endocrine functions and gonadal processes. Our objective

Engineered C–N Lyases for Stereoselective Synthesis of Tertiary Amines
EDDS lyase was subjected to iterative cycles of site‐saturation mutagenesis and screened for increased activity for the addition of 2‐((methylamino)methyl)aniline to fumarate. The final mutant, EDDS lyase CEA, accepts various N‐methyl‐1‐phenylmethanamines derivatives, yielding N,N‐disubstituted L‐aspartic acids, as well as several ortho‐substituted ...
