Carbofuran Modulating Functions of Acetylcholinesterase from Rat Brain In Vitro

Figure 1

Effect of carbofuran (2 nM) on the activity of AChE from rat brain with respect to the varying incubation time at room temperature (26 ± 2°C). The enzyme assay was carried out employing 100 µg protein using the procedure as described in Section 2. The results indicate the average values of three independent experiments. The enzyme in the absence of carbofuran served as a control and did not show any decrease in activity. + and demonstrate the activity of AChE in the presence and absence of carbofuran.
