which nutirents are responsible for synthesizsing MAO ?. I'm just wondering if there is something simply like say calcuium which one could restrict to prevent MAO synthesis hence enhancing MAO drugs.

MAO-A and MAO-B are products of genes found on the X chromosome (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/dispomim.cgi?id=309850 ); they both consist of a number of amino acids. Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing MAO-A and MAO-B. A single amino acid determines their substrate and inhibitor specificites (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?holding=npg&cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11134050&dopt=Abstract ).

Do MAO levles vary from person to person.
Do some individuals have very low MAO, and others have high MAO ??
