Abstract
Monoamine oxidase activity in human postmortem brain and liver samples was measured in a group of patients with a prior history of alcoholism and compared to a control group with no prior history of alcoholism. Liver samples from patients with a prior history of alcoholism showed significantly lower monoamine oxidase activity with both phenylethylamine and serotonin as substrates. Postmortem brain samples, however, were not different in the 2 groups.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
