Photoregulation of cholinesterase activity

Abszrucz: The study of the functioning of cholinesterases and in particular the identification of the clearance of enzymatic products from the active site, is undertaken by two different photoregulatory methodologies. A mechanism-based photo-inactivation of the cholinesterases is proposed to map this route of clearance. The use of radiolabeled probes will permit to identify the modified amino a...

In vitro cholinesterase inhibitory activity of Areca catechu L.

Background and objectives: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized as the most prevalent age related neurodegenerative disease along with cognitive impairment in elderly people. Most of therapeutic treatments for AD have dedicated to the inhibition of cholinesterase (ChEs) to increase the level of acetylcholine (ACh) in the cholinergic synaptic cleft. Acetylcholinesterase (AC...

Determination of cholinesterase activity in human blood.

The Clinical Stability of Serum Cholinesterase Activity.

Intra-individual variation of serum cholinesterase activity as determined in 82 normal adults studied 373 times over periods up to 5 years is found to be relatively low. The over-all coefficient of variation was 8.4, the linear correlation between the first and subsequent tests in the same person was r = .87 (first versus second test in 82 subjects) and r = .90 (first versus seventh test in 14 ...

Calorimetry of cholinesterase activity in serum.

Cholinesterase activity in human serum was measured calorimetrically and compared to values obtained with the spectrophotometric method of Rappaport et al. [Clin. Chim. Acta 4, 227 (1959)]. The response of the calorimeter upon mixing serum with acetylcholine corresponded to the cholinesterase activity of the serum, the thermogram peak height being linearly related to enzyme activity at serum di...
