Abstract

The level of platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity has been used as a genetic marker for certain mental disorders.The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of several nongenetic factors on platelet MAO activity.Platelet MAO, platelet count, mean platelet volume, per cent megathrombocytes, platelet protein, and platelet protein density were determined in 19 normal subjects and in patients with two clinical conditions assodated with extremes in platelet count and
