title: Chronic ethanol feeding and diamine oxidase activity in rat brain and liver.
abstract: The activity of diamine oxidase, the principal enzyme for diamine catabolism, was evaluated in brain and liver from male rats fed nutritionally complete diets, of which 36% of total calories was given as ethanol or as isocaloric carbohydrates for 4 months. Ethanol caused an increase in diamine oxidase activity in the brain and a decrease in the liver, tissues with a low and high rate of ethanol oxidation, respectively.
