Butyrylcholinesterase and diabetes mellitus in the CHE2 C5- and CHE2 C5+ phenotypes.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activities (total and band specific) and diabetes mellitus. SUBJECTS AND METHODS BChE activities (BChEA, AC(4/5), AC(OF) and RC(5)) were analyzed in 101 type 1 (DM1) and in 145 type 2 (DM2) diabetic patients, in relation to phenotype, weight and incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in these patients. The C(4/5) and...
متن کاملEvidence for a single butyrylcholinesterase gene in individuals carrying the C5 plasma cholinesterase variant (CHE2).
DNA of 3 unrelated individuals carrying the human plasma butyrylcholinesterase C5 variant (CHE2) was isolated from white blood cells. Southern blot patterns of DNA restriction fragments probed with each of the 4 butyrylcholinesterase exons provided evidence that the production of C5 is not directed by a second butyrylcholinesterase gene. This finding supports the suggestion that the C5 variant ...
متن کاملEffects of energetic restriction diet on butyrylcholinesterase in obese women from southern Brazil - A longitudinal study.
OBJECTIVE Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity has been associated with obesity, lipid concentrations, and CHE2 locus phenotypes. This, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an energetic restriction diet intervention on anthropometrical and biochemical variables and on absolute and relative BChE activity in CHE2 C5+ and CHE2 C5- individuals. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred el...
متن کاملButyrylcholinesterase: K variant, plasma activity, molecular forms and rivastigmine treatment in Alzheimer's disease in a Southern Brazilian population
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder in which there is a decline of cholinergic function. The symptomatic AD treatment involves the use of ChEIs (cholinesterase inhibitors) as rivastigimine, a dual inhibitor. The human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an enzyme that has specific roles in cholinergic neurotransmission and it has been associated with AD. In the serum, BChE is f...
متن کاملButyrylcholinesterase genetic variability in Guarani Amerindians from the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul
Human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE; EC 3.1.1.8) is a polymorphic enzyme coded by the BCHE gene (3q26.1-q26.2) while the CHE2 gene (2q33-q35) determines a still not characterized substance that forms a complex with BChE (C5), being the CHE2 C5+ and CHE2 C5phenotypes detected in electrophoresis. The present study investigated BCHE and CHE2 variability and the BChE activity of Brazilian Guarani Ame...
