Theoretically, copper might increase MAO activity, considering that the MAO enzymes are made from copper. However, I'm not sure to what extent the body will continue to absorb the copper that gets ingested and continue to make more MAO-A and MAO-B just as a result of an increase in the intake of copper. Another thing to consider is that copper is believed to be a cofactor in the synthesis of norepinephrine, which could theoretically counteract the effect of increasing your MAO activity.

But as far as finding something that might increase the activity of the MAO enzymes, copper is the only thing that I can think of.
