The acetylcholinesterase (AHhE) activity in the corpora lutea of ovaries from sheep has been examined at different stages of pregnancy and the oestrous cycle, by both quantitative and histochemical techniques. The enzyme activity rose during the early part of pregnancy and then levelled out; it appeared to fall sharply at term. During the oestrous cycle the AChE activity was much lower but showed time-related changes. A few results from pigs and cows are included. The cows corpora lutea, unlike those of the sheep and pig contained butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) as well as AChE. The results are discussed in terms of the possible function of non-neuronal cholinesterases.

The present investigation was undertaken for the study of the comparative neurohistological observations of pancreatic-Artery (blood vessel) in Gallus domesticus (white leghorn) and Suncus murinus (Indian musk shrew) by cholinesterase technique. In Gallus, the innervation of arteries (blood vessel) was by a good number of non-myelinated nerevs, which formed the periarterial plexus in participation with the postganglionic fibres at one end and the fibres of the nerve cells of the other end. In Suncus, the periarterial and AChE-positive ganglia were arranged in chain-like fashion on the periphery of the artery. Periarterial plexus was formed by tortuous, myelinated nerves and the nerve fibres of the ganglia.

The histochemical study of the Ear of female Suncus murinus (Indian musk shrew) was studied by the use of the cholinesterase technique. Good and sharp results were obtained while studing the AChE activity in the hair, hair follicle, hair papillae, muscle spindle, and nerve endings. The investigations were performed under constant pH, temperatures 37 degrees C to 40 degrees C, and incubation times, from 16 hours to 18 hours. The hair follicle and hair shafts showed strong positive reaction; hair papillae also showed strong positive reaction of AChE activity, while hair showed the banded appearance and the muscle spindles showed mild reaction of the AChE activity.

Specific and non specific cholinesterase activities were demonstrated in the ABRM of Mytilus edulis L. and Mytilus galloprovincialis L. by means of different techniques. The results were found identical for both species: neuromuscular junctions "en grappe"-type scarely distributed within the ABRM, contain AChE. According to the histochemical inhibition tests, (a) the eserine inhibits AChE activity of the ABRM with a level of 5-10(-5) M or higher, (b) the ChE non specific activities are inhibited by iso-OMPA level between 5.10(-5) to 10(-4) M. The histo- and cytochemical observations were completed by showing the existence of neuromuscular junctions containing small clear vesicles: they probably are the morphological support for ACh presence. Moreover, specific and non specific ChE activities were localized in the glio-interstitial cells. AChE precipitates were developed along the ABRM sarcolemma, some muscle mitochondria and in the intercellular spaces remain enigmatic.

A comparative study of pancreatic duct innervation of Francolinus pondicerianus (grey partridge or safed teeter) and Suncus murinus (Indian musk shrew) as revealed by cholinesterase technique has been done for investigation. In Suncus pancreas, the AChE-positive ganglia, elongated and irregularly shaped, medium and large-sized, were recorded either on the periphery of the excretory duct or on the wall of the duct. No ganglia were recorded on the periphery, although the fibres of the ganglia were in close association with the periductular plexus and the fibres of the peri-insular plexus in Francolinus. In Suncus, multipolar and AChE-positive ganglia of various shapes, arranged in chain-like fashion on the duct, were recorded, whereas in Francolinus the multipolar ganglia of AChE-positive nature and of various shapes, arranged in chain-like fashion, were observed in the duct region.

The distribution of AChE activity in the various tissues was studied, in female Funambulus pennanti (five banded squirrel), female Francolinus pondicerianus (grey partridge of safed teeter), female Perdicula asiatica (jungle bush quail or lowwa), female Gallus domesticus (white leghorn), and female Suncus murinus (Indian musk shrew) by the use of cholinesterase technique, under different temperatures, incubation periods and pH values. The distribution of AChE activity in the nerve cells, their fibres and nerve bundles as well as in muscle spindles was variable. Periphery of the nerve cells showed strong positive reaction as compared with the central portion of the cell (Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4). Some of the ganglia and nerve bundles showed strong positive AChE reaction (Fig. 1, 5, 6).

The sharpness in the staining of the neural elements with associated structures was maximum under maintained pH of 5.2, incubation period 19 h and temperature 40 degrees C, by cholinesterase technique. Innervation of the pancreas with reference to blood vessels, pancreatic duct, and islets of Langerhans has been studied in Francolinus pondicerianus (grey partridge or safed teeter). The fibres of the periarterial plexus, periductular plexus and the periinsular plexus were closely related to each other and were finally connected to the ganglia. Ganglia were distributed in the lobular cells and connective tissue space. They were large, small and medium and varies in shape, being rounded, oval, and elongated. Distribution of AChE activity was observed in various ganglia, nerve cells, and nerve fibres.

A single application of a mixture of cholinolytic and reactivator of cholinesterase (TMB-4 compos. SPOFA) administered intravenously in the dose of 10.0 mg of trimedoxim per kg of live weight to sheep for 60 minutes after an intramuscular intoxication with O-ethyl S-(2-dimethylaminoethyl) methyl phosphonothioate (EDMM) in the dose of 0.00835 mg per kg of live weight (i.m. LD50, 2h) produces an immediate clinical effect. The reactivation of the erythrocytary acetyl cholinesterase (AChE, E.C.3.1.1.7.) examined in 15 minutes after the administration of the antidotal mixture is almost 100 p.c., the reactivation of the plasmatic butyryl cholin esterase (ChE, E.C.3.1.1.8.) approx. from 70 to 80 p. c. Restitution ad integrum occurred not later than in 14 days after the intoxication.

In a model of sheep perorally intoxicated with a 200.0 mg kg-1 trichlorphon dose, the effectivity of the worked out therapeutical procedure was confirmed; the procedure consisted in the administration of an anticholinergic (20.0 mg of 1.1% atropine s. c. pro toto) and cholinesterase reactivator (30.0 mg of 10% trimedoxime kg-1 i. m.) mixture 4 hours after the administration of the noxious agent. A determination of the erythrocytic acetylcholinesterase (AChE, E.C.3.1.1.7.) and plasmatic butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, E.C.3.1.1.8.) activities in the intoxicated sheep should be considered a decisive clinical and diagnostical test for taking veterinary-therapeutical, veterinary-hygienical or veterinary-sanitary measures in intoxications with anti-cholinesterase substances on the whole.

By employing biochemical assay and histochemical enzyme techniques the effect of preganglionic sympathectomy on the cholinesterase (ChE) activity in the superior cervical ganglia of rats and hamsters was investigated. Biochemical assays indicate that the ChE activity in the superior cervical ganglia of adult rats and hamsters is 57.19 and 28.63 respectively (expressed in micron moles acetylcholine hydrolyzed per min per g of tissue); two weeks after preganglionic denervation, about 50% and 60% of ChE activity are lost respectively. Histochemical enzyme examination reveals that in the rat superior cervical ganglion, the majority of the neurons are adrenergic with weak to moderate acetylcholinesterase (ACHhE) reaction and the minority of the neurons are cholinergic with strong AChE activity, while only one type of adrenergic neurons exhibits a weak AChE activity in the hamster superior cervical ganglion. The AChE activity is localized in the perinuclear area, in the cisternae of the rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, in the Golgi complex and on the plasma membrane of the hamster's neurons; it is mainly locolized in the cisternae of the rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum of the rat's neurons. AChE reaction product is also detected on the aeolemmal membranes of the preganglionic nerve fibers in the sympathetic ganglia of rats and hamsters. After preganglionic sympathectomy, the AChE activity in the adrenergic neurons and in the preganglionic unmyelinated nerve fibers is markedly reduced, whereas the cholinergic neurons and preganglionic myelinated nerve fibers remain unchanged. On the basis of these results two conclusions have been reached: (1) The fact that strong AChE activity localized in the cholinergic neurons and preganglionic myelinated fibers is not influenced by denervation, suggests that these structures are able to produce AChE. (2) The reduction of AChE activity in the rat and hamster superior cervical ganglia two weeks after preganglionic denervation, observed by histochemical examination, can be correlated with a concomitant measurable reduction determined by biochemical assays.
