The measurement of serum cholinesterase activities by an integration strategy with expanded linear ranges and negligible substrate-activation

Clin Biochem. 2009 Jun;42(9):926-8. doi: 10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2008.11.016. Epub 2008 Dec 11.

Abstract

Objectives: To measure serum cholinesterase (SCHE) with an integration strategy.

Design and methods: At 54.0 micromol/L butyrylthiolcholine, SCHE initial rates were calculated with 50.0 micromol/L butyrylthiolcholine and maximal rates via an improved integrated method if substrate consumptions within 5.0 min were over 60%, or were determined by the classical initial rate method.

Results: The linear range was from 16 to 1560 nkat/L, and SCHE in clinic sera showed negligible substrate-activation.

Conclusion: This strategy was effective.
