monoamine oxidase inhibitors MAO inhibitors are a type of antidepressant and are used to treat mental depression. Like other antidepressant drugs, MAO inhibitors help reduce the extreme sadness, hopelessness, and lack of interest in life that are typical in people with depression.escription. Discovered in the 1950s, MAO inhibitors work by correcting chemical imbalances in the brain. Normally, natural chemicals called neurotransmitters carry signals from one brain cell to another. Some neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, play important roles in controlling mood.

Which blood vessels and chambers carry oxygenated blood ? Starting in the right atrium, the blood flows through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. Here, it is pumped out the pulmonary semilunar valve and travels through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. From there, oxygenated blood flows back through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium.tarting in the right atrium, the blood flows through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle.

Monoamine oxidase L-Monoamine oxidases (MAO) (EC 1.4.3.4) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of monoamines.They are found bound to the outer membrane of mitochondria in most cell types in the body.The enzyme was originally discovered by Mary Bernheim in the liver and was named tyramine oxidase. They belong to the protein family of flavin-containing amine oxidoreductases.xygen is used to remove an amine group from a molecule, resulting in the corresponding aldehyde and ammonia. Monoamine oxidases contain the covalently bound cofactor FAD and are, thus, classified as flavoproteins.

What are MAOIs? Monoamine oxidase is a type of enzyme that helps neurons fire throughout the body. It is formed in the liver and cleans up neurotransmitters in the brain once they have done their jobs. Besides clearing out the neurotransmitters, monoamine oxidase cleans out tyramine, a chemical that helps regulate blood pressure.ne downside to MAOIs is that there are dietary restrictions because of the elevated tyramine levels in the blood. When the drug was first on the market, no one knew about the tyramine and blood pressure concerns.
