1. The specific activities of erythrocyte membrane-bound acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7.) and soluble hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1.) in vitamin E deficient and vitamin E sufficient rabbits were investigated. 2. Acetylcholinesterase specific activities values of 43.4 in deficient and 57.4 in sufficient vitamin E rabbits were obtained. Hexokinase specific activity was not modified, and values of 3.31 in deficient and 3.6 in controls were found. 3. No peroxidation process was detected by us on vitamin E deficient diets. 4. These observations would suggest that the membrane stabilizing effect of vitamin E may be accomplished by a mode of action not necessarily related to its ability to prevent lipid peroxidation.

D006593 Hexokinase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP and a D-hexose to ADP and a D-hexose 6-phosphate. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-fructose, sorbitol, and D-glucosamine can act as acceptors; ITP and dATP can act as donors. The liver isoenzyme has sometimes been called glucokinase. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7.1.1. Hexokinase A,Hexokinase D,Hexokinase II
D000110 Acetylcholinesterase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ACETYLCHOLINE to CHOLINE and acetate. In the CNS, this enzyme plays a role in the function of peripheral neuromuscular junctions. EC 3.1.1.7. Acetylcholine Hydrolase,Acetylthiocholinesterase,Hydrolase, Acetylcholine
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014811 Vitamin E Deficiency A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of VITAMIN E in the diet, characterized by posterior column and spinocerebellar tract abnormalities, areflexia, ophthalmoplegia, and disturbances of gait, proprioception, and vibration. In premature infants vitamin E deficiency is associated with hemolytic anemia, thrombocytosis, edema, intraventricular hemorrhage, and increasing risk of retrolental fibroplasia and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. An apparent inborn error of vitamin E metabolism, named familial isolated vitamin E deficiency, has recently been identified.
