title: Physiological changes in human erythrocyte cholinesterase as measured with the "pH-stat".
abstract: Cholinesterase activity in human erythrocytes was determined in 1903 blood samples by the "pH-stat" method. Differences in activity were examined as a function of sex, age, and pregnancy. Reliability intervals for the population average and approval or normality intervals for individual values were established. Sex- and age-related differences were very significant.
