Patients and controls did not differ significantly for either Km or Vmax, when same sex contrasts were carried out. The results do not support some studies that have shown elevated MAO activity in patients with panic attacks. The reasons for the discrepancies between previous studies and the present one are explored. | Gov't Doc #: | 2975682 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/12912 | Journal: | Journal of affective disorders | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2975682 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adult Aged Agoraphobia.enzymology.psychology Fear.physiology Female Humans Kinetics Male Middle Aged Monoamine Oxidase.blood Panic.physiology Phobic Disorders.enzymology |
