  • Title: Intraindividual stability and extent of genetic determination of platelet monoamine oxidase activity.
    Author: Friedl W, Krüger J, Propping P.
    Journal: Pharmacopsychiatria; 1981 May; 14(3):83-6. PubMed ID: 7196052.
    Abstract:
    Intraindividual stability and extent of genetic determination of platelet MAO activity with tryptamine as substrate was evaluated. Repeated determinations on the same days as well as during an interval of 1-30 days show a high intraindividual stability of MAO. Reexamination of subjects who had formerly been selected because of either low or high MAO activity led to a "regression to the mean", thus pointing to a certain influence of environmental factors on the enzyme values. Twin and family studies, however, show a remarkable influence of genetic factors.
