Brain and vascular monoamine oxidase activity in the deoxycorticosterone-salt hypertensive rat.
1 The role of monoamine oxidase (MAO) in the maintenance of deoxycorticosterone-sodium chloride (DOCA-salt) hypertension was investigated by assaying the MAO activity both in central as well as peripheral blood vessels and in brain tissue. 2 The results suggest that the activity of MAO in the DOCA-salt hypertensive rat is similar to the activity present in the normotensive rat.
