Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]), released by activated platelets during cardiac ischemia, is metabolized by the mitochondrial enzyme monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A). Because hydrogen peroxide is one of the byproducts of 5-HT degradation by MAO-A, we investigated the potential role of reactive oxygen species generated by MAOs in 5-HT-dependent cardiomyocyte death and post-ischemia-reperfusion cardiac damage.
