• n  any of the enzymes that catalyze biological oxidation

• Some scientists point to high testosterone levels combined with low monoamine oxidase inhibitors, which regulates dopamine.
• Monoamine oxidase is another serotonin-disrupting enzyme, so anything that inhibits it should make more of the mood-elevating chemical available to the brain cells.
• The theory is that in the brains of people suffering from severe depression, the enzyme monoamine oxidase breaks down too much of a group of mysterious brain chemicals called .

• Metabolism gives boost to understanding plant, animal nutrient evolution
  In a new article, researchers explore the evolution of a family of enzymes, called 2-hydroxy acid oxidase, or 2-HAOX, that break down fats in both plant and animals. Their results show how plants and animals have adapted differently to similar environmental conditions in order to meet their energy needs.
