This analysis compares blood cholinesterase activity methods in adults, suggesting optimized protocols for evaluation.

To compare two methods for analyzing blood cholinesterase activity, including AChE and BChE.
Tested various substrate concentrations, reaction times, and sample dilutions.
Conducted multivariate analysis considering age, blood pressure, and plasma protein levels.
Evaluated IC50 values for four enzyme inhibitors using both methods.
Colorimetric method yielded more sensitive results compared to electrometric.
Electrometric method resulted in faster and cheaper analysis.
Ellman's method had lower IC50 values for BChE, while Mohammad's method excelled for AChE.

Costa et al. (2026) studied this question.
