Plasma Cholinesterase Activity in Alzheimer's Disease.
Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) are not allowed to be prescribed in combination, which means that we need to select 1 of 3 ChEIs for use in a patient with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, there is no quantitative analysis on the differences between these agents. In this article, we propose that plasma cholinesterase activity (pChE) could be used as the standard for differentiating between r...
متن کاملA new high activity plasma cholinesterase variant.
A South African Afrikaans speaking family is reported in which a new high activity plasma cholinesterase variant was found to occur in the mother and son. The variant has the same electrophoretic mobility as the "usual' enzyme, but greater heat stability. Its higher specific activity is associated with a normal number of enzyme molecules. The variant may be inherited as a dominant trait, though...
متن کاملBiological studies in childhood schizophrenia: plasma and RBC cholinesterase activity.
Most investigations of possible metabolic aberrations in childhood schizophrenia failed to demonstrate differences between schizophrenic patients and control groups. Cholinesterase activity has net been previously reported in schizophrenic children. Similar studies with adult schizophrenics have hot been consistent, despite some reports of abnormal cholinesterase activity. The present study rep...
متن کاملPlasma cholinesterase activity in elderly and young adults.
Sir,—The work of Professor James and others in South Africa on nitrous oxide at high altitudes is of course well known; any review on awareness would certainly include it. Excluding this work (and some otheT important topics) from my article was solely a result of lack of space; an Editorial cannot be a complete review. Our objective is usually to select areas which are controversial, poorly un...
متن کاملSpectrophotometric micromethod for measuring cholinesterase activity in serum or plasma.
A simple ultraviolet method has been developed for determining serum or plasma cholinesterase activity. The cholinesterase acts on acetylor butyrylthiocholine to release thiocholine, which reacts with 2,2’or 4,4’-dithiodipyridine, showing absorbance at 324 or 343 nm, respectively. The activity can be measured kinetically and alsoafter incubation for 3 to 5 mm at 20#{176} to 37#{176}C. A volume ...
