Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Using serotonin and phenylethylamine deamination as measures of MAO A and MAO B activity respectively, positive correlations were observed between the activities of MAO A and MAO B in different areas of rhesus monkey and human brains. When the activities of MAO A and MAO B were compared with those of neuron-specific enolase and nonneuronal enolase (isozymes which are markers for neurons and glia), a slight but non-significant correlation was observed, suggesting that a simple distribution of MAO A in neurons and MAO B in glia is unlikely. This conclusion is supported by studies using synaptosomes, but contrasts with that from investigations of MAO from peripheral tissues, where experiments indicate that MAO A is predominantly localized in neurones.
