Abstract

This paper reviews the distribution of cholinesterases in the central nervous system, the ganglia, the striated muscle, and the blood of mammals, and discusses the correlation between the histochemical localization and the function of neuronal cholinesterase.Different methods for the determination of cholinesterase levels are reviewed, with particular reference to their practical value for field work. The Warburg method and the Tintometer and Acholest colorimetric methods are compared on the basis of cholinesterase levels determined in normal persons and in those suffering from parathion intoxication.
