Platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity was determined before and after the subcutaneous administration of adrenaline to nine healthy volunteers. Significant increases were found 15 min and 1 hr after adrenaline in the enzymatic activity with benzylamine acting as substrate. Increases were also found in all but two samples in the activity towards tyramine. Such increases may be part of a general response to "stress", and, if so, need to be taken into account when interpreting changes in platelet MAO activity in psychiatric patients.
对9名健康志愿者皮下注射肾上腺素前后测定了血小板单胺氧化酶（MAO）活性。以苄胺为底物时，肾上腺素注射后15分钟和1小时酶活性显著增加。除两个样本外，对酪胺的活性在所有样本中也有所增加。这种增加可能是对“应激”的一般反应的一部分，如果是这样，在解释精神病患者血小板MAO活性变化时需要考虑到这一点。
