background : ferulago carduchorum boiss and hausskn belongs to the apiaceae family. this plant grows in west part of iran that local people added it to dairy and oil ghee to delay expiration date and give them a pleasant taste. the aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant, antimicrobial, acetyl cholinesterase inhibition, cytotoxic, larvicidal activities and composition of essential ...

the aim of this trial was to determine the toxic effect of oms-43 on spraymen and inhabitants. the spraying operation lasted for 30 successive days, and two teams consisting of 20 spraymen, 2 mixers, 4 foremen and team leaders were engaged in this operation. the operators were under systematic and closed clinical observation and cholinesterase determination (tintometric method) during the opera...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether (i) cholinesterase activity is increased in the saliva of patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS), (ii) increased levels of cholinesterase of lymphocyte origin could interfere with the secretory activity of submandibular acinar cells, and (iii) hydroxychloroquine at therapeutic doses could interfere with cholinesterase activity. METHODS The Ellman method ...

We measured cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8) and 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) activities in serum of 24 healthy laboratory staff during 12 months. Overall mean activities ranged from 5.3 to 13.4 kU/L for cholinesterase and 5.4 to 9.8 U/L for 5'-nucleotidase. Cholinesterase activity was significantly (p less than 0.01) higher for men than for women. 5'-Nucleotidase activity was significantly (p = 0.0...

Synthetic approaches for new nanocomposite materials with relatively high cholinesterase activity have been developed. The peculiarity of the formation of such systems is the introduction of cholinesterase into polymer with subsequent incorporation on the ready-made silica particles and into the polysiloxane matrixes during sol-gel synthesis. Evaluation of the cholinesterase activity has been f...

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...

The activity and properties of cholinesterase of the motor end plate in human intercostal muscle were studied in the isolated muscle membrane. This preparation was used because cholinesterase activity of the membrane preparation was localized in the motor end plate without contamination of cholinesterase of other muscle components. Under the experimental conditions, cholinesterase in a human en...

Substance concentrations of plasma cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8) were measured in 94 healthy individuals without occupational exposure to known inhibitors (six samples from each individual). Immunoreactive cholinesterase substance concentrations showed an inter-individual variation corresponding to CVtotal = 22% (mean: 5.01 mg/l, SD: 1.11 mg/l). Intra-individual variations of immunoreactive choli...

Increase in blood glucose levels can be caused by the long-term use of pesticides farmers. This study aims to determine whether there is a correlation between activity cholinesterase as an indicator exposure and farmers Mlokorejo Village, Jember Regency. The research method observational-analytic with cross-sectional design. Data form general characteristics sample were obtained through intervi...

Cholinesterase activity in blood of laboratory rats was monitored. Rats were intoxicated with paraoxon at dosis of 0 - 65 - 125 - 170 - 250 - 500 nmol. The 250 nmol dose was found to be the LD(50). An electrochemical sensor was found useful to provide information about cholinesterase activity. The decrease of cholinesterase activity was correlated to intoxication symptoms and mortality level. I...
