Effect of low temperature on monoamine oxidase and substrate specificity in the mitochondrial fraction of rat brain

Maintenance of animals for three days at 2 degrees C produces changes in the substrate specificity of type I monoamine oxidase (MAO). These changes manifest in serotonin and noradrenaline deamination and in a several-times increase in deamination of glucosamine, putrescine and gamma-aminobutyric aci...

Description
Summary:Maintenance of animals for three days at 2 degrees C produces changes in the substrate specificity of type I monoamine oxidase (MAO). These changes manifest in serotonin and noradrenaline deamination and in a several-times increase in deamination of glucosamine, putrescine and gamma-aminobutyric acid. The cold-induced increase in AMP deamination is not related to MAE. The activity of type B MAO does not change on cold stress.
