Abstract

Am J Psychiatry 1 40: 1 , January 1983 115 with a population of alcoholics known to have low platelet MAO at the time of alcohol abuse. Such a prospective study, however, would have to last at least as long as the abstinence of our subjects. Other approaches to determining the effect of alcohol on MAO activity, such as correlational analyses of length of alcohol abuse or the amount of alcohol consumed, may not be meaningful because a threshold effect of alcohol on MAO is likely, after which a longer time or greaten amount might not suppress MAO further.
