title: [A modified method for spectrophotometry determination of monoamine oxidase activity with benzylamine as the substrate].
abstract: Modified assay of MAO activity with benzylamine as a substrate is described. The method is based on trapping benzaldehyde product of MAO-reaction by semicarbazide, introduced in samples in 0.6 N perchloric acid after the incubation period. Advantages and disadvantages of semicarbazide presence in incubation medium are discussed. Additional control containing 10(-3) mol/L semicarbazide was required during incubation.
