Salivary monoamine oxidase A inhibitory activity (MAO-AI), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were determined simultaneously in healthy male students (n = 13) at rest, before a mild psychological stressor, twice during the task and 18 minutes after the end of the task. The sample as a whole showed significant differences in MAP and HR across occasions (respectively, p < 0.001 for both). Salivary MAO-AI could distinguish novice and experienced game players (p < 0.02) and was consistently positively correlated with MAP (r = 0.58, p < 0.05 on occasion 2). Pre-task measures of MAO-AI for an increased sample (n = 18) were associated with higher MAP (but not HR) throughout the experiment (p < 0.05). Those subject with falling MAO-AI profiles from task to recovery showed significantly greater simultaneous decline in HR than those with a rising MAO-AI profile (p < 0.05).
