Butyrylcholinesterase and the cholinergic system
The cholinergic system plays important roles in neurotransmission in both the peripheral and central nervous systems. The cholinergic neurotransmitter acetylcholine is synthesized by choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and its action terminated by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). The predominance of AChE has focused much attention on understanding the relationship of ...
متن کاملAcetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase activity in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with neurodegenerative diseases involving cholinergic systems.
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) were assayed in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of subjects with neurodegenerative diseases (dementing and non-dementing, with and without known cholinergic lesions), to determine whether CSF AChE is a valid marker of central cholinergic activity. The relative proportions of the different forms of each enzyme and of AChE to BChE were si...
متن کاملCannabinoids and the cholinergic system.
delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) decreases EEG activation and causes slow waves in the cat. The EEG slow-wave activity is accompanied by a concomitant decrease in acetylcholine release from the neocortex. The findings suggest that THC depresses the brain stem activating system. Large doses of delta 8- and delta 9-THC increase brain acetylcholine levels in rodents such as the mouse and rat, bu...
متن کاملCholinergic Receptor Sensitivity Following Pharmacological Modulation of the Immune System
Objective. To study the effect of immunomodulators on learning and memory and on cholinergic receptor sensitivity. Methods. Animals were initially treated for a period of 8 days with cyclosporine/levamisole/saline. They were then subjected to passive avoidance training and 48 hrs later, the retention test for the passive avoidance task was conducted. Twenty-four hours after the retention tests ...
متن کاملrole of cholinergic system on the construction of memory and its interaction with dopaminergic system
the central cholinergic system has been associated with cognitive function and memory and acetylcholine plays an important role during the early stages of memory consolidation. in this study, after training mice were tested with one way active avoidance procedure and retention were tested at 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours of training and compared with non-shocked mice, in which it took 24 hours, a s...
