title: Paranoia and platelet MAO in normals and nonschizophrenic psychiatric groups.
abstract: The authors compared the correlation between platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity and the Paranoia (Pa) scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory in several groups. The data suggest that there is a positive association between high MAO activity and high scores on the Pa scale but only in samples with psychopathology.
