title: Patterns of monoamine oxidase maturation in mouse brain.
abstract: Monoamine oxidase (MAO) was assayed in mouse brain between the ages of 1 day postpartum and adulthood. Two substrates, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and tryptamine, were used and assays were done with and without thermal inactivation at 50 degrees C for 10 min. Relative patterns of MAO maturation were found including one form that decreased with increasing age.
