摘要: Plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) hydrolyzes ester-containing compounds such as succinylcholine, well acting a scavenger against neurotoxic organophosphates (OPs). We previously found that Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection makes rats more susceptible to OP toxicity by decreasing serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity. In the present study, we examined effects of N.brasiliensis on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in plasma, red blood cells (RBCs), brain and diaphragm, PON1 activity, at day 7 after infection. significantly decreased plasma BChE activities without altering AChE RBCs, diaphragm. These results provide further insight into unusual deleterious intestinal nematode infections body homeostasis.
