Abstract
A significant fall in plasma cholinesterase activity was observed in six healthy young women in the first 3 months of normal pregnancy. There was some evidence of return to normal pre-pregnancy levels in later pregnancy. No hypothesis is suggested to account for this phenomenon, although it seems possible that it may be the result of altered liver enzyme synthesis.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
