“…B utirilholinesteraza (BChE) ili pseudoholinesteraza je enzim složene molekularne strukture koji se sintetiše u jetri i odmah oslobađa u plazmu, gde njegov poluživot iznosi 12 dana [1][2][3] . Svojom aktivnošću katalizira hidrolizu holin estara i time inaktiviše mišiće relaksante, kao što su sukcinilholin i mivakurijum [1][2][3][4][5][6] .…”
