(E)-3-Heteroarylidenechroman-4-ones as potent and selective monoamine oxidase-B inhibitors [PDF]
A series of (E)-3-heteroarylidenechroman-4-ones (1a-r) was designed, synthesized and investigated in vitro for their ability to inhibit the enzymatic activity of both human monoamine oxidase (hMAO) isoforms, hMAO-A and hMAO-B.

Examination of the Monoamine Oxidase A Gene Promoter on Motivation to Exercise and Levels of Voluntary Physical Activity [PDF]
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the genetic basis underlying voluntary exercise. Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) is an enzyme that acts on monoamine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, to cause inactivation. There are several polymorphisms

Parameters for Irreversible Inactivation of Monoamine Oxidase
The irreversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidases (MAO) slow neurotransmitter metabolism in depression and neurodegenerative diseases. After oxidation by MAO, hydrazines, cyclopropylamines and propargylamines form a covalent adduct with the flavin ...

Long-term low-dose oxytetracycline potentially leads to neurobehavioural changes
Trace levels of oxytetracycline (OTC)—a veterinary antibiotic and feed additive—are widespread in the environment. Studies revealed that OTC potentially impairs thyroid function, which may affect neurobehaviour; however, the impact of exposure to ...

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.

Expression regulation of MAO isoforms in monocytic cells in response to Th2 cytokines [PDF]
Background: Th2-cytokines, such as interleukins-4 and –13 (IL-4, IL-13), have been identified as alternative stimuli of monocytes/macrophages. We have recently profiled the gene-expression pattern of IL-4-teated human peripheral monocytes and found that ...
