Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Acute administration of irreversible and reversible selective MAO-A inhibitors and high doses (or chronic administration of low doses) of relatively selective MAO-B inhibitors (but not of highly selective MAO-B inhibitors) suppressed MAO-A activity and stimulated N-acetylation of pineal serotonin into N-acetylserotonin, the immediate precursor of melatonin."2.40Antidepressive and antihypertensive effects of MAO-A inhibition: role of N-acetylserotonin. A review. ( Oxenkrug, GF, 1999)
