Emphasizing the role of monoamine oxidase (MAO) in the etiology and pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, this up-to-date reference describes the genetics, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and clinical aspects of this very important class of enzymes.
Details how the interaction between selegiline (deprenyl) and MAO may retard the progression of neurodegenerative disorders!
Providing the latest theories on how selegiline operates, Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors in Neurological Diseases
"
This book represents a good review of this subject.
