1 The role of monoamine oxidase (MAO) in the maintenance of deoxycorticosterone‐sodium chloride (DOCA‐salt) hypertension was investigated by assaying the MAO activity both in central as well as peripheral blood vessels and in brain tissue. 2 The results suggest that the activity of MAO in the DOCA‐salt hypertensive rat is similar to the activity present in the normotensive rat.
