Abstract:
:Erythrocyte and plasma cholinesterase activities were measured biweekly in one group of 22 subjects for a year and daily for three weeks in another group of nine men. The average range [i.e., (range/mean) X 100] of activity of erythrocyte cholinesterase in men during a year was 8% and during three weeks was 5%. For plasma, the corresponding values were 25% and 12%. The average ranges for erythrocyte and plasma cholinesterase activity in women during a year were 12% and 24%. Erythrocyte cholinesterase activity varies less than do hematocrit, hemoglobin, or erythrocyte count.
