Cholinergic neurotransmission plays a significant role in intrinsic cardiac ganglia with the action of acetylcholine being terminated by acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7). Anatomical studies were performed to characterize neurons associated with AChE and a closely related enzyme, butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE, EC
[Treatment of Alzheimer's disease: status quo and future considerations].
Cholinesterase inhibitors used to treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) inhibit both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), albeit to different degrees. Because central and peripheral neurons, including intrinsic cardiac neurons located on the surface of the mammalian heart, express

Intoxications with organophosphorous compounds, especially paraoxon, are frequent. Organophosphorous compounds inhibit serine hydrolases such as acetylcholine, butyrilcholine, and carboxyl esterases although acetylcholine and butyrylcholine are too sensitive to paraoxon to be useful markers of severity. They cannot show a dose-dependent

Acetylcholine levels of whole blood from 80 healthy subjects were determined by pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass fragmentography. Acetylcholine was extracted from 1.2 ml of venous blood in the presence of eserine, demethylated by pyrolysis, and assayed by selected ion-current monitoring using butyrylcholine
