Effect of Intestinal Diamine Oxidase (DAO) Depletion by Heparin on Mucosal Polyamine Metabolism
The aim of this study was to examine the relative importance of the enzymes ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and diamine oxidase (DAO) in intestinal polyamine metabolism in normal rats. To study this we measured jejunal and ileal DAO and ODC activities and polyamine levels 2 h after injecting, in non-fasting male Wistar rats, either normal saline ...

Diamine oxidase (DAO) activity and intestinal mucosa integrity: influence of suture techniques
Agents and Actions, 1987After various kinds of intestinal mucosal injuries, whether by disease or by experiment, the diamine oxidase activity is reduced. Therefore, we studied the effect of surgical manipulations on the intestinal mucosa and diamine oxidase activity. The reaction of the gut on the insertion of sutures was a transient increase of the enzymic activity followed ...

Diamine oxidase (DAO) and female sex hormones
Agents and Actions, 1986DAO activity in tissues of female guinea pigs was determined after the administration of estradiol or progesterone. Estradiol pretreatment elicited significant fall in DAO activity in the liver and specific increase in the uterus. The effect of progesterone was much less pronounced.

Changes in serum and intestinal diamine oxidase (DAO) activity after proximal enterectomy in rats
To determine whether serum and mucosal DAO activity reflects quantitative changes in the small bowel mucosal mass, we have chosen an experimental model of mucosal hyperplasia which is known to occur in the rat after enterectomy. A 50% proximal enterectomy or a single transection was performed in 20 growing rats weighing 145-160 g.

On the Elimination of Transfused HeparināInduced Diamine Oxidase (DAO) Activity in Rabbits
Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, 1973AbstractLymph or blood plasma, rich in diamine oxidase (DAO; EC 1.4.3.6.) activity was obtained from donor rabbits, after i.v. injection of heparin. The lymph or, after heparin neutralization, the blood serum was injected into recipient rabbits, and the elimination of the transfused DAO activity was studied.

A FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERUM DIAMINE OXIDASE (DAO) AND GESTATIONAL AGE
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1976SummaryA standard error of one to two weeks must be accepted if the duration of pregnancy is calculated from serum diamine oxidase (DAO) concentrations. After the 16th week of pregnancy, the enzyme concentration is too variable to be used for calculations of gestational age.

Abstract High diamine oxidase (DAO) and histamine activity are present in rat intestine, thymus and adrenals, and a close correlation exists between the two activities in these tissues ( Biochem. Pharmac. 24 , 979 (1975)). The distribution of histaminase in normal and germ-free rat tissues and the release of this enzyme from intestine, thymus and ...

Some problems with the diamine oxidase (DAO) assay using putrescine as substrate in rat liver
Agents and Actions, 1993Determination of diamine oxidase (DAO) activity in rat liver preparations by measuring the formation of radioactive delta 1-pyrroline from 14C-putrescine is complicated by the complexity of competing metabolic pathways. This can lead to complete masking of the DAO activity present when rat liver homogenates are used as the enzyme source.
