چکیده
Earlier work by the author and coworkers (Adams & Whittaker, 1948; Adams, 1949; Whittaker, 1949; Mounter & Whittaker, 1950; Mounter, 1951) has shown that the so-called 'true' or 'specific' cholinesterases of erythrocytes, brain and cobra venom, previously believed to act only on acetylcholine and a few other esters, are in reality capable of hydrolysing a wide range of non-choline esters, 3:3-dimethylbutyl acetate,

Cholinergic enzymatic activity of cerebrospinal fluid of patients with various neurologic diseases.
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of normal humans contains both true and pseudocholinesterases and choline acetyl transferase (choline acetylase) detectable by radiochemical assay. Elevations of total cholinesterase, pseudocholinesterase, and true cholinesterase occur in brain tumors, meningitis, Guillain-Barre disease, hydrocephalus, and brain abscess. However, the non-specificity and inconstancy...
متن کاملCharacterization of isolated pigeon paramyxovirus-1 (PMV-1) and its pathogenicity in broiler chickens
Characterization of isolated pigeon paramyxovirus-1 (PMV-1) and its pathogenicity in broiler chickens were studied. Two hundred and thirty-two samples collected from 50 unvaccinated pigeons lofts suspected to Newcastle disease from private houses and bird markets from Ahvaz, Iran. Swab samples from cloaca and oropharynx of live pigeons and from trachea, lung, liver, spleen, kidney, brain, prov...
متن کاملThe reversible inhibition of acetylesterase by diisopropyl fluorophosphate and tetraethyl pyrophosphate.
Diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) has been shown to be a remarkably potent inhibitor of the enzymatic hydrolysis of acetylcholine (1). As a result of a wide survey (2), inhibition by dialkyl fluorophosphates appears to be specific for certain esterases and lipases (kidney acid phosphatase was found to be inhibited by relatively high concentrations). Since the cholinesterase of mammalian brain a...

AD is a neurodegenerative disorder charaterized by progressive decline of cognitive functions.The significant deficits in presynaptic cholinergic markers observed in brains of AD patients have led to the formulation of the cholinergic hyphotesis of AD. Current approaches to the treatment of cognitive and behavioral symptoms of AD emphasize the use of cholinesterase inhibitors. Rivastigmine (Exe...

Introduction: Organophosphate (OP) pesticide is used as chemical warfare nerve agents against both military and civilian population during the Iran–Iraq War. Paraoxon (POX) as an OP acts via the inhibition of cholinesterase and disturbance in body antioxidant systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) as an antioxidant against POX- induced oxid...
