Cholinesterases in Neurofibromas
Archives of Dermatology, 1962Cholinesterase is an enzyme associated with neural tissue. It has been demonstrated chemically and histochemically in sensory and motor tissue of the central nervous system, the myoneural junction, and the sensory end-organs. 1 Specific cholinesterase, which hydrolyzes acetylcholine and acetylbetamethylcholine (methacholine), is found in autonomic ...

Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology, 1980
Abstract 1. 1. Preliminary data show that lithium carbonate administered in patients with endogenous depression significantly inhibits serum cholinesterase. 2. 2. The interaction of lithium with cholinergic system could be envisaged as a possible mechanism of lithium therapeutic action in affective disorders.

THE POLYMORPHISM OF CHOLINESTERASE IN VERTEBRATES
Neurochemistry International, 1980Acetylcholinesterase (AChE, E.C. 3.1.1.7.) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE, E.C. 3.1.1.8.) form homologous sets of multiple molecular forms, the structure of which is well conserved among vertebrates. Two classes of molecular forms may be distinguished. The asymmetric forms contain one, two or three catalytic tetramers, associated with a collagen-like

Dementia is a serious and growing problem that presents enormous burdens to patients, their families, and national healthcare systems throughout the world. In the United States, there are currently two classes of psychopharmacologic agents approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease: the cholinesterase inhibitors, which are approved for use in ...

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses cholinesterases, their importance in understanding the toxicity of organophosphate ester (OP) and carbamate (CB) pesticides, and their application to risk assessment. Cholinesterases (ChEs) are specialized carboxylic ester hydrolases that break down esters of choline.

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1955
By using the Michel's method specific cholinesterase was found in the leucocytes of man, dog and rabbit. The largest quantities were found in the leucocytes of rabbit, followed by that of man and lastly by that found in the dog. The pus cells do not contain cholinesterase.

Cholinesterase and anaesthesia
Clinical Biochemistry, 1979Summary There appear to be two genetic loci for cholinesterase, E 1 and E 2 . The first allele is closely linked with the transferrin locus and is probably on chromosome number 1. At the second (E 2 ) locus only one variant has been described. At the E 1 locus at least 4 alleles have been detected: the usual (E 1 u ), atypical (E 1 a ), fluoride ...

Cholinesterases of neuromuscular junction
Neurochemistry International, 1980The ultrastructural localization of AChE and BuChE was studied in motor endplates of the rat and mouse diaphragms, using the CNS(?) modification of the one-step Cu-thiocholine procedure. AChE activity was observed on pre- and postsynaptic membranes, in the basal lamina and in the Schwann cell-nerve terminal interspace.

Cholinesterase Inhibitors and Beyond
Current Alzheimer Research, 2009Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) were introduced in the therapy of Alzheimer Disease (AD) in the nineteen nineties with great expectations. The hopes and large interest raised by these drugs are well demonstrated by 12,000 references listed by PubMed under 'ChEI' for 1995-2007. The list is reduced to 2500 if we confine ourselves to 'ChEIs and dementia'

Cholinesterase Nevus: Cholinesterases in Pigmented Tumors of the Skin
Archives of Dermatology, 1960One of the enigmas of modern cytology is the nevus cell. Its origin has been variously claimed to be from melanocytes, 1 from epidermal cells, 2 and from nerve cells, 3 and each source has been hotly debated. It has been thought to grow up into the skin 4 and also to form by "abtropfung" 5 from the epidermis down into the dermis.
