Abstract
Temperature conversion tables for activities of human whole blood and plasma cholinesterases were worked out for the temperature range 10° to 40°C. The tables are intended to be used in routine measurement of cholinesterase activity. Enzyme activity was measured by the method of Ellman et al. (1961), which is widely used for screening exposure to anticholinesterase compounds.
Zusammenfassung
Temperaturumrechnungstabellen für die Aktivität der Cholinesterasen im menschlichen Blut und Plasma wurden für den Temperaturenbereich von 10° bis 40 °C ausgefertigt. Die Tabellen sind für Routinemessungen der Cholinesterasenaktivität bestimmt. Zur Messung der Aktivität wurde die Methode von Ellman et al. (1961) benutzt; diese Methode hat große Anwendung gefunden bei Kontrollen der Exposition von Cholinesterasehemmstoffen.
