  • Title: Changes in cholinesterase activity of muscle after crushing the sciatic nerve of rats.
    Author: Kobayashi H, Hasegawa K, Tanaka M, Kikuno M.
    Journal: Experientia; 1978 Jun 15; 34(6):750-1. PubMed ID: 658290.
    Abstract:
    The subcellular distribution of cholinesterase (ChE) was studied in the gastrocnemius muscle of rats after strong or weak nerve crushing. The ChE activities of muscle were decreased to a greater extent by strong crushing than by weak crushing. In particular, the ChE activity of the fraction containing sarcoplasmic reticulum was most greatly decreased. These results suggest that the change in the ChE activity of the microsomal fraction most finely reflects the strength of nerve crushing.
