Serum monoamine oxidase assayed with a new synthetic benzylamine derivative as substrate. Its clinical significance with special reference to hepatic fibrosis. 1978

H Nakano, and Y Yamamoto, and S Ohnishi, and K Ito, and H Imura

Serum levels of monoamine oxidase were determined in 171 healthy adults and in 77 patients with hepatic diseases by use of a new synthetic derivative of benzylamine, 1-[(4-aminomethylphenyl)azo]-2-naphthol hydrochloride, as substrate. This new compound is more effectively oxidized by serum monoamine oxidase than by benzylamine, currently the most widely used substrate. Diagnosis of hepatic disease was confirmed in all patients by liver histology. The results suggest that the level of this enzyme in serum increases in parallel with the development of hepatic fibrosis.

D008995 Monoamine Oxidase An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of naturally occurring monoamines. It is a flavin-containing enzyme that is localized in mitochondrial membranes, whether in nerve terminals, the liver, or other organs. Monoamine oxidase is important in regulating the metabolic degradation of catecholamines and serotonin in neural or target tissues. Hepatic monoamine oxidase has a crucial defensive role in inactivating circulating monoamines or those, such as tyramine, that originate in the gut and are absorbed into the portal circulation.
