Determination of acetylcholinesterase and pseudocholinesterase in gastrointestinal biopsy tissue.

چکیده
An optimized micromethod for the determination of soluble acetylcholinesterase and pseudocholinesterase in gastrointestinal biopsy tissue is introduced. Enzyme activities were obtained from measurements of total activity and activity in the presence of an inhibitor of pseudocholinesterase. Optimal conditions of measurement were established for enzymes in serum or erythrocytes. In intestinal tissue, measurements were precise and reproducible. Interference by blood contained in the biopsy specimens were found to be neglegible. Also drugs used for premedication had no significant influence. Finally, results from normal stomach, duodenum and colon are presented.

Abstract Background and Objective: Celiac is an autoimmune disease that is characterized by an immune-system-related damage in the intestinal tissue after consumption of gluten. There is not any general agreement for gold standard. The Purpose of this study was the evaluation of specificity and sensitivity of anti-endomysial (EMA) and anti-tissue transglutaminase (TTG) serological test compa...

The distribution of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and pseudocholinesterase (BuChE) activities was studied by histochemical, quantitative and electrophoretical methods during the early development of chick limbs, from stage 16 to stage 32 H.H. (Hamburger & Hamilton, 1951). By quantitative methods, true AChE activity was found, and increased about threefold during the developmental period, together...

Autoradiographic and histochemical techniques have been used to characterize further the pharmacology of transmission at the Mauthner fiber giant synapse of the South American hatchetfish. [125I]alpha-Bungarotoxin was applied to hatchetfish medullae and a standard autoradiographic procedure was carried out on 3- to 4-microns sections of glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue. All Mauthner fiber giant syna...

The aim of this study was to determine the acute and chronic toxicity of Deltamethrin insecticides and its effect on the activity of brain acetylcholinesterase and serum catalase enzymes and gill and liver tissues of Carassius auratus in the presence of vitamin C. In the acute toxicity test, LC50 of Deltamethrin was calculated by Probit test analysis and the effect of its chronic concentration ...

Chicken muscles offer several significant advantages for the use of cholinesterase as a marker of nerve-muscle interactions. A series of molecular forms of chicken muscle acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and likewise of pseudocholinesterase (psi ChE), has been defined. The form of AChE inside the endplates of fast-twitch muscle is H2c (20 S), with a collagenous tail. The same is true for psi ChE. T...
