Abstract
Summary
1. Lyophilized preparations of cholinesterase, identified as “specific” and “non-specific” in type, were fractionated from swine caudtate nucleus and parotid gland, respectively.
2. Adrenaline inhibits the ability of these enzymes to hydrolyze acetylcholine.
3. The potentiation of acetylcholine activity by adrenaline is correlated with the inhibitory effect of adrenaline on cholinesterase.
