Monoamine oxidase-B is abundant in the colonic muscular layer including myenteric plexus of rat and human. Long-term administration of rasagiline can increase colonic DA thereby inhibiting colonic motility, suggesting that colonic MAO-B could be a potential drug target for colonic dysmotility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
