Abstract
Effects of MAO-A or MAO-B inhibitors such as L-deprenyl on both cerebral and peripheral vasculature, on non-vascular smooth muscle, on the nervous system, and on platelets, RBC, WBC, mast cells, macrophages, and glial cells are disclosed. The effects are the result of a mode of action for MAO-A or MAO-B inhibitors such as L-deprenyl which is totally unrelated to selective inhibition of MAO-A and/or MAO-B. Therapeutic methods of using MAO-A or MAO-B inhibitors such as L-deprenyl to treat a variety of disorders are disclosed.
