Molecular forms of butyrylcholinesterase and obesity
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study compared obese (N = 134) and unobese (N = 92) male blood donors, regarding the relative intensity (RI) and activity of different molecular forms (G1, G2, G4 and G1-ALB) of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, EC 3.1.1.8) found in plasma, thereby searching for an association between these variables with obesity and SNPs of exons 1 and 4 of the BCHE gene. It was shown that obese and unobese individuals do not differ in the RI of each BChE band, even when classifying the sample into three genotypes of exons 1 and 4 of the BCHE gene (-116GG/539AA, -116GG/539AT, -116GA/539AT). Although the mean BChE activity of each band was significantly higher in obese than in unobese blood donors, the proportions of BChE bands were maintained, even under the metabolic stress associated to obesity, thereby leading to infer that this proportion is somehow regulated, and may therefore be important for BChE functions.

متن کاملCharacterization of cholinesterase activities in primary cultures of retinal pigment epithelium.
This report presents a comparative description of the acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase activities and their molecular forms in primary cultures of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Acetylcholinesterase activity increases during differentiation of the cells. Sucrose sedimentation analysis of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase molecular forms revealed the presence of A12...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a 12 week program of physical exercise (PE) on butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in obese adolescents. This study compared obese adolescents (N = 54) before and after PE, regarding the relative intensity (RI) and activity of different molecular forms (G1, G2, G4 and G1-ALB) of BChE found in plasma. Waist circumference (WC) and lipid profile ...
متن کاملMOLECULAR FORMS OF CHOLINESTERASES 3. STRUCTURE AND ACTION MECHANISM OF ESTERATIC ACTIVE CENTER 4. GENETIC VARIANTS OF BChE 5. FUNCTIONS OF BChE
Butyrylcholinesterase is involved three different enzymatic activities in its structure like its sister enzyme, acetylcholinesterase: esterase, aryl acylamidase and peptidase (or protease). Whereas the clear role of acetylcholinesterase in cholinergic neurotransmission is well defined, the real physiological function of butyrylcholinesterase is still unknown. Both enzymes have similar molecular...
متن کاملRole of oligosaccharides in the pharmacokinetics of tissue-derived and genetically engineered cholinesterases.
To understand the role of glycosylation in the circulation of cholinesterases, we compared the mean residence time of five tissue-derived and two recombinant cholinesterases (injected intravenously in mice) with their oligosaccharide profiles. Monosaccharide composition analysis revealed differences in the total carbohydrate, galactose, and sialic acid contents. The molar ratio of sialic acid t...
