title: Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase activity (SSAO) of rat epididymal white adipose tissue.
abstract: An amine oxidase activity distinguishable from MAO, which is inhibited by carbonyl reagents is present in rat epididymal WAT. This enzyme, referred to as semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), appears concentrated in adipose cells. Close homologies between WAT SSAO and the circulating plasma BAO are discussed.
