Monoamine oxidase defect in essential arterial hypertension. A single dose pargyline test. 1976

B Anselmi, and F Buffoni, and C Curradi, and P L Del Bianco, and F Sicuteri

A defect in the level of monoamine oxidase activity of platelets was observed in essential arterial hypertension. This defect seems dependent upon a lower rate of synthesis of the enzyme and not to the presence of an isoenzyme, as the net rate of return of the enzymatic activity after pargyline inhibition does not significantly differ between hypertensive and normotensive subjects.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D008297 Male Males
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.
