Amine oxidases as important agents of pathological processes of rhabdomyolysis in rats by O. O. Gudkova, N. V. Latyshko, S. G. Shandrenko

“…We can assume that biogenic amine and polyamine catabolism by amine oxidases is upregulated by oxidative and carbonyl stress factors directly under rhabdomyolysis progression, and the increase in catabolic products concentration contributes to tissue damage in glycerol-induced acute renal failure and apoptosis stimulation in thymus.…”
