Neuropathology and cholinesterase expression in the brains of octogenarians and older
2022, Chemico-Biological InteractionsCitation Excerpt :Cholinergic neurotransmission is vital to cognition, as cholinergic dysfunction leads to cognitive and behavioural disturbances in AD [28]. This includes the loss of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, and reduced activity of its synthesizing enzyme, choline acetyltransferase, and its hydrolyzing enzyme, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) [29–31]. Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), an enzyme which co-regulates acetylcholine hydrolysis with AChE, has increased or unchanged activity in AD [30,32].
