The results of a comparison of the actions of individual human sera support evidence previously obtained for the existence of two different types of pseudocholinesterase in man. Maximum rates of hydrolysis of choline esters by human sera containing the normal type of cholinesterase were two to four times greater than the maximum rates obtained with sera containing atypical esterase. Human sera with the normal type of cholinesterase hydrolyzed butyrylcholine at a considerably faster rate than pentanoylcholine; atypical esterase hydrolyzed pentanoylcholine at approximately the same rate as butyrylcholine. All Michaelis constants for the normal enzyme were lower than those for the atypical enzyme by a factor which varied from 1.4 to 6.4. The data were compatible with the assumption of a linear relationship between the log of the Michaelis constants and the number of acyl carbons in the choline esters, but the slopes differed significantly for the two enzymes. For a homologous series of choline esters, there was no correlation between rates of hydrolysis and Michaelis constants.

Cholinesterases (ChE) are specialized carboxylic ester hydrolases that catalyse the hydrolysis of choline esters. They are classified into either acetylcholinesterase (AChE) or butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Determination of ChE in the tissues is the appropriate tool for the diagnosis of organophosphorus and carbamate exposures. In general, a significant inhibition was seen in both AChE and BChE activities after 6 months of freezing at −80°C and after 3 months of freezing at −20°C. Linear regression of mean AChE and BChE was observed in all individual samples during the months of the two freezing methods. Bland and Altman plot of the ratios of the two freezing methods have showen the mean difference between the two freezing methods to be 8.8, and SD was 144.7 and −127.6 for upper and lower limits, respectively, for liver, while in muscle the mean difference was 1.5 and SD was 32.5 and −28.9 for upper and lower limits, respectively.
