Monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity in tobacco particulate matter: Are harman and norharman the only physiologically relevant inhibitors?
Abstract
The monoamine oxidase-A inhibitory activity and the amounts of harman and of norharman in tobacco smoke preparations has been compared. Harman and norharman made only a modest contribution to the total inhibitory activity.
