 | | It is hypothesized that the emotions act as positive or negative reinforcers of behavior patterns that increase the probability of survival of the organism. | | | Part of the biochemical activity of monoamine oxidase generates hydroxyl radicals, very toxic members of the oxygen free radical group, that may be involved in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease. | | | The activity of monoamine oxidase helps to maintain neuron firing rates throughout the body within homeostatic limits. |

| | One interesting case is the association between violent criminal behavior and monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in the brain. | | | Alterations in the MAO-A gene result in marked changes in monoamine metabolism and are associated with variable cognitive deficits and behavioral changes in both humans and transgenic mice. | | | Monoamine oxidase A degrades the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine by converting the amine group into aldehyde group. |

| | For this reason, pharmaceutical research has produced drugs that can either block the reuptake of neurotransmitters (eg, cyclic antidepressants, newer selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or interfere with the breakdown of the monoamines within the synaptic cleft (monoamine oxidase inhibitors [MAOIs]). | | | It is hypothesized that clinical depression is related to decreases in concentration of the neurotransmitters. | | | Circulating monoamines such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine, are inactivated when they pass through a liver rich in MAO-A. MAO-B, on the other hand, is found primarily in the brain and in platelets. |

| | Knowledge of this structure will facilitate the design of new, potent, and selective MAO inhibitors, which may eventually lead to new and effective drugs for the treatment of depression and possibly of other disorders. | | | This drug also has a weak effect in the treatment of depression, and some beneficial action has been reported in patients with mild Alzheimer-type dementia, narcolepsy, attention-deficit disorders, and Lafora-type epilepsy. | | | MAO is involved in the biodegradation of aromatic monoamines, including classical neurotransmitters such as serotonin, adrenalin, histamine, and dopamine, and appears to play a central role in several psychiatric and neurological disorders. |

| | Because several studies have found an association between MAO-B activity and depression we analysed data of these smokers to assess whether past history of major depression is associated with reduced monoamine oxidase activities (A and B) or not. | | | Further, we tried to characterize smokers with past history of major depression and its effect on withdrawal symptoms. | | | We have shown in a previous study that lifetime prevalence of major depression is higher in dependent smokers and they have lower monoamine oxidase-A and -B activities than non-smokers. |
