Altered platelet monoamine oxidase-B activity in idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

Abstract:

:A case-control study was undertaken to investigate the status of platelet monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) activity in Indian cases of idiopathic Parkinson's disease. A significant increase in the activity of platelet MAO-B was observed in Parkinson's cases (n = 26) as compared to controls (n = 26). No significant change in the activity of the enzyme was observed while the data was analysed with respect to age, sex and duration of disease. A trend of decrease in platelet MAO-B activity was observed in Parkinson's cases with respect to stage although the change was not significant. No correlation in platelet MAO-B activity was observed with respect to age and sex in the control subjects. Parkinson's cases treated with L-DOPA and MAO-B inhibitor exhibited decreased platelet MAO-B activity as compared to drug naive cases and those treated with L-DOPA alone. Interestingly, Parkinson's cases treated with L-DOPA and amantadine also had lower platelet MAO-B activity as compared to drug naive cases and those treated with L-DOPA alone. Activity of platelet MAO-B in Parkinson's patients was increased in naive cases and those treated with L-DOPA alone or in combination with other drugs compared to controls. The results of the present study indicate that phenotypic activity of platelet MAO-B is high in Indian Parkinson's cases. Further, action mechanism of drugs used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease could be understood by assay of platelet MAO-B activity. It is an interesting observation and may be looked further in large number of cases.
