If you want to increase MAO activity in vivo then take a copper supplement. This will then produce a fall in monoamine NT's and thyroid hormone...
But beware it also lowers histamine and can cause histapenic symptoms like depression/schizophrenia.
Copper excess is well known to be implicated in neuropsychiatric illnesses by virtue of its stimulation of tyrosine's conversion into melatonin synthesis, its inhibition of Dopamine formation by Dopa decarboxylase, its stimulation of Dopamine's conversion into Noradrenaline by Dopamine beta hydroxylase, and its inhibition of serotonin formation...the net effect is low Dopamine and serotonin (mood and motivation) and high Noradrenaline (alertness, anxiety)...
Caveat emptor
