The present study investigated platelet monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) activity in male alcohol-dependent subjects in sustained full remission (minimum 1 year), to exclude possible transient changes in platelet MAO-B activity, which occur up to several months after the end of alcohol intake.
MAO-B activity was examined in 16 alcohol-dependent subjects, characterized as type 1 alcoholics, with an abstinence period of 6 +/- 7 years (mean +/- SD) and in 12 healthy controls.
The long-term abstinent alcohol-dependent subjects did not differ from controls in platelet MAO-B activity.
Type 1 male alcohol-dependent subjects appear to have normal platelet MAO-B activity. The possibility, however, cannot be excluded that type 2 long-term abstinent alcoholics may have lower platelet MAO-B activity.
本研究调查了处于持续完全缓解状态(至少1年)的男性酒精依赖者的血小板单胺氧化酶-B(MAO-B)活性,以排除酒精摄入结束后长达数月出现的血小板MAO-B活性可能的短暂变化。
检测了16名酒精依赖者(特征为1型酗酒者)的MAO-B活性,其戒酒期为6±7年(均值±标准差),并检测了12名健康对照者的MAO-B活性。
长期戒酒的酒精依赖者与对照者在血小板MAO-B活性方面无差异。
1型男性酒精依赖者似乎具有正常的血小板MAO-B活性。然而,不能排除2型长期戒酒的酗酒者血小板MAO-B活性可能较低的可能性。
