| Abstract: | Objectives: Serum diamine oxidase (DAO; EC 1.4.3.6) activity is often employed as a clinical indicator of the integrity of intestinal mucosa. However, interindividual variation in enzyme activity and reference values for healthy women and men have not been studied. Design and methods: DAO activity was measured by using cadaverine coupled to O-dianisidine oxidation in 50 healthy individuals. Results: The mean activity was 7.59±3.67 U/L for women and 2.38±0.71 U/L for men (pb0.001). Conclusions: Gender is a major determinant for DAO activity in healthy subjects. |
