Abstract excerpt

Monoamine oxidase activity (MAO) has been related to neuronal damage, since the oxidative deamination of biogenic amines produces free radicals that may enhance oxidative stress. Elevated enzyme activities in brain (MAO-A and MAO-B forms) and in platelets (MAO-B form) have been reported in several degenerative diseases, indicating that MAO activity may be involved in the disease progression. We estimated platelet...
