Popis: Serum monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity has been studied in normal adults and in about 500 persons with diabetes mellitus and some other internal diseases. We have confirmed earlier reports that serum MAO is increased in patients with chronic congestive heart failure and that the enzyme level is correlated to the degree of incompensation. Increased serum MAO concentration was also registered in persons with thyrotoxicoses and diabetes mellitus. Serum MAO activity was found to be increased already at the first appearance of diabetes mellitus and was not influenced by the type of therapy. A decreased serum MAO activity was found during treatment of different diseases with corticosteroids and ACTH as well as in some cases of neoplastic diseases.
