Effect of Gallic Acid on Reactivation of Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibited by Diazinon in Vitro and in Vivo
Background and purpose: Diazinon is an organophosphate insecticide that binds to the acetylcholinesterase enzyme after metabolization causing its inactivation. Galic acid is a polyphenolic compound with nucleophilic properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of gallic acid on reactivation of acetylcholine and butyrylcholinesterase inhibited by diazinon in mice and human se...
متن کاملSerum atypical pseudocholinesterase and genetic factors in leprosy.
The levels of pseudocholinesterase and its nature were studied in 390 leprosy patients and 343 control subjects. The levels of the enzyme in both leprosy patients and normal controls were comparable. The study of the nature of the enzyme by determining its dibucaine number showed that a statistically significant number of lepromatous patients had the atypical variety of the enzyme compared with...
متن کاملSusceptibility to leprosy and serum atypical pseudocholinesterase.
The pseudocholinesterase levels and the nature of the enzyme as shown by the dibucaine number (D.N.) were estimated in 720 controls and 420 lepromatous leprosy patients, and 301 tuberculoid leprosy patients. There was no statistical difference in the esterase levels between leprosy patients and normal controls. But the distribution of D.N. was significantly different in the leprosy patients co...
متن کاملInfluence of obstructive sleep apnea on serum butyrylcholinesterase activity and ischemia-modified albumin levels
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of obstructive sleep apnea and continuous positive airway pressure treatment on serum butyrylcholinesterase activity and ischemia-modified albumin levels. METHODS Thirty-two patients with obstructive sleep apnea and 30 age- and sex-matched controls were enrolled and underwent a diagnostic polysomnogram. The serum butyrylcholinesterase activity, ischemia-mod...
متن کاملInvestigation of Association between Susceptibility to Leprosy and SNPs inside and near the BCHE Gene of Butyrylcholinesterase
Leprosy is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae and affects the skin and the peripheral nervous system. Butyrylcholinesterase is coded by the BCHE gene, and the atypical allele (70G; rs1799807) has been investigated as a leprosy risk factor, with conflicting results. The present study estimated the frequencies of variants of rs1799807 and of five additional SNPs at the BCHE gene or ...
