Does anyone know if a selective MAO-A inhibitor would require the dietary restrictions like parnate/nardil. Which of the two enzymes is responsable for the hypotensive reaction.

It's a hypertensive reaction actually, and it is the MAO-A enzyme that is the problematic one. However, if the MAOI is a reversible MAO-A inhibitor like moclobemide, an MAOI diet is not required. This is a moot point for US residents, though, as this drug is not available in the United States.Todd

Tyramine hypertensive reactions have been reported with moclobemide. It is recommended that no more than 50mg be consumed at any one meal.
