Abstract excerpt
The plasma cholinesterase (PChE) and red cell acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) activities are indicators of exposure to organophosphates. We studied their distribution in unexposed Northwest Indian adults by measuring them in 120 men and 111 women by Ellman's and Kalow's method, respectively. We also...
