title: Platelet monoaminooxidase activity and behavioural characteristics in humans.
abstract: We investigated the possible relationship between platelet MAO activity and behavioural characteristics, measured by MMPI, in a group of 19 healthy volunteers. The results showed that high MAO activity tended to be typical of subjects with inhibitory characteristics and that low MAO activity was more typical of uninhibited subjects.
