Adult male rats were fed on a control diet containing (g/kg) carbohydrate 600, lipid 35 and protein 190, or on a high-fat diet containing carbohydrate 360, lipid 420 and protein 120. After 30 d, the high-fat diet provoked a decrease in serum cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8) activity which was reversed by feeding rats on the control diet. The observed decrease after 90 d on the high-fat diet was not ...
