Serum levels of monomeric, dimeric and tetrameric pseudocholinesterases were measured by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in patients with various liver diseases and normal controls in order to evaluate their clinical significance. In patients with liver cirrhosis, serum levels of monomeric, dimeric and tetrameric were significantly lower than those in normal controls, patients with fatty liver and chronic hepatitis. The ratio of monomeric and dimeric to tetrameric in patients with liver cirrhosis was also significantly lower than that in normal controls, patients with fatty liver and chronic hepatitis. Serum levels of tetrameric, dimeric and monomeric were not significantly higher in the patients with fatty liver than in normal controls, but the ratio of monomeric and dimeric to tetrameric was significantly higher in patients with fatty liver than that in normal controls, patients with chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. These findings suggest that the selective determinations of serum levels of monomeric, dimeric and tetrameric pseudocholinesterases are useful to estimate the metabolism of fat and protein in various liver diseases.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011108 Polymers Compounds formed by the joining of smaller, usually repeating, units linked by covalent bonds. These compounds often form large macromolecules (e.g., BIOPOLYMERS; PLASTICS). Polymer
D002091 Butyrylcholinesterase An aspect of cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8). Pseudocholinesterase,Benzoylcholinesterase,Butyrylthiocholinesterase
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed. ELISA,Assay, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Assays, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay,Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays,Immunosorbent Assay, Enzyme-Linked,Immunosorbent Assays, Enzyme-Linked
D005260 Female Females
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
