Neuroleptic drug effect on platelet monoamine oxidase and plasma amine oxidase in schizophrenia.

M Baron, R Gruen, M Levitt, J Kane.   

Abstract

Activity levels of platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) and plasma amine oxidase (PAO) were determined in eight chronic schizophrenic patients who had been treated with neuroleptic drugs for 3 months. The mean reduction in platelet MAO activity was 18.6%. The extent of decrease was statistically significant. The reduction in enzyme activity was unrelated to serum iron levels. PAO activity was unaltered. The implications for schizophrenia research are discussed.
