What will be an ideal response?
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an intricate enzyme system distributed predominantly in nervous tissue, the liver, and the lungs. This enzyme system is responsible for inactivating the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin once they have played their role in sending messages to the brain. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors are drugs that block this activity. Monoamine oxidase also breaks down tyramine.
