title: The stimulation of rat brain monoamine oxidase by dietary lithium chloride.
abstract: Lithium chloride administered to rats in drinking water for 30 days caused an increase of whole brain monoamine oxidase specific activity to approximately 140% of control. Carboxylesterase and formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase activities were not affected by Li+ either in vivo or in vitro.
