Cholinesterase actually corresponds to two enzymes: acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase (also called plasma cholinesterase) (Boiko et al.
1989) published a suggestive but isolated study in which they reported de novo 100-fold amplification of the silent serum butyrylcholinesterase (BtChoEase) gene in a farmer exposed chronically to organophosphate insecticides, which inhibit BtChoEase.
The butyrylcholinesterase activity in muscle and liver tissues was not significantly inhibited.
