Abstract

 


In this study, the aim was to show whether there is a relationship between cholinesterase activities and plasma lipid parameters in overweight, normal and lean individuals. This study were carried out on 34 female. 55 male (totally hospholipid levels, plasma cholinesterase activities and CRF. ERF values of overweight male subjects were found to be higher and erytrocyte cholinesterase activities to be lower than those of the other groups. In female, total cholesterol. ERF, CRF values, and plasma cholinesterase activities of overweight subjects were found to be higher and en trocyte cholinesterase activities to be lower than those of the other groups. HMI showed significant correlations with all parameters except for IIDL levels in men and glucose, triglyceride and phospholipid values in women. In conclusion, being together with changes of the cholinesterase activities and lipid /iroplnle changes in overweight subjects might he important in the pathologies seen in obesity. /.Journal of Turgut Oza!
