Is DAO in serum affected by food challenge with a histamine-rich meal?
That is what this case study measures: how serum diamine oxidase levels change after a histamine-rich meal in people with intolerance. It is a way to see whether DAO in blood moves with what you eat and whether it is of any use as a marker.

ABSTRACT
One caveat worth keeping in mind: this is a case study, so it describes what happened to a small group of people rather than establishing a rule. It says something about how serum DAO behaves around a meal, not about how well the measurement works as a diagnostic test.
