From: Decline in Serum Cholinesterase Activities Predicts 2-Year Major Adverse Cardiac Events
Scheme: Two cholinesterases contribute to the cholinergic status. Schemes of the brain are shown, from which ACh is sent to the periphery and affects stress responses, cardiac functioning and cytokines release from macrophages through activation of AChR, among other functions. Also shown are AChE and BChE in the circulation, both of which hydrolyze ACh, albeit at different rates.
