Abstract
MONOAMINE oxidase (MAO) of sympathetically innervated organs has been classically considered to be involved in the regulation of intraneuronal catecholamine concentrations. This function of MAO implies that the enzyme is located within the presynaptic element of the adrenergic neuroeffector system. Recent studies, however, have indicated that MAO may be located extraneuronally1,2.
