Insomnia is prevalent in the global population. Diamino oxidase (DAO) is an enzyme that degrades histamine. When there is not enough DAO enzyme activity in the body, histamine accumulates and it can lead to symptoms in the nervous system, among others. In this study we wanted to study the prevalence of DAO deficiency in pacients with insomnia symptoms.
