Levels of (a) p-MAO-B activity ( 𝑛 = 1 3 7 ) and (b) l-MR binding measured in the blood of both female and male Faroese children. (a) illustrates the individual values of the MAO-B activity in 70 boys (mean ± SD = 6 . 0 8 ± 3 . 1 2  nmol/mg protein/h, range: 0.95–14.57) and 67 girls (mean ± SD = 5 . 5 6 ± 2 . 5 5  nmol/mg protein/h, range: 1.57–14.95), respectively. (b) shows the single values of the MR binding in 73 boys (mean ± SD = 8 . 0 5 ± 9 . 1 3 fmol/106 cells, range: 0.1–36.78) and 66 girls (mean ± SD = 8 . 0 9 ± 8 . 3 1 fmol/106 cells, range: 0.1–35.91), respectively.
