Abstract     The microgasometric method was used for determination of MAO activity in single odontoblasts isolated from rat and man. By using tyramine as a substrate, the presence of MA0 in these cells was demonstrated. Both molecular forms of MA0, MA0 A and MAO B, were found using specific inhibitoras clorgyline and deprenyl. The activity of MAO in odontoblasts was measured also under some special experimental conditions (impacted tooth, caries).
