Translational assessment of butyrylcholinesterase activity as a diagnostic biomarker for depression using a chemiluminescent probe

Key Points

• Butyrylcholinesterase activity may indicate the presence of depression, aiding early diagnosis.
• The study identifies a significant link between enzyme activity levels and depressive symptoms in individuals.
• Assessment using a chemiluminescent probe enables accurate detection of enzyme activity.
• These findings suggest that butyrylcholinesterase might serve as a useful biomarker for depression diagnosis.
