Brain morphometric correlates of MAOA-uVNTR polymorphism in violent behavior
Introduction: Violent behavior is influenced by genetic factors, and the MAOA-uVNTR polymorphism has been associated with violent behavior, specifically the low activity variant.

Monoamine Oxidase Contains a Redox-active Disulfide [PDF]
Mitochondrial monoamine oxidases A and B (MAO A and MAO B) are ubiquitous homodimeric FAD-containing oxidases that catalyze the oxidation of biogenic amines. Both enzymes play a vital role in the regulation of neurotransmitter levels in brain and are of interest as drug targets.

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

A New Class of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors [PDF]
Abstract:Newly synthesized compounds have been found to inhibit mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (MAO) in mouse brain and rat liver. A series of 2‐acylamino‐3‐tert‐aminopropiophenones acted preferentially against MAO type B (2‐phenylethylamine as substrate), apparently irreversibly.
