1 The basal forebrain lesion decreased the cholinesterase activity in the cerebral cortex, and metrifonate (100 mg/kg) further reduced the cholinesterase activity. Trichlorfon butyrylcholinesterase Rattus norvegicus
2 These results indicated that metrifonate ameliorated the impairment of learning in both scopolamine-treated and basal forebrain-lesioned rats by not only increasing extracellular acetylcholine levels by inhibiting cholinesterase, but also by undefined other mechanism(s). Trichlorfon butyrylcholinesterase Rattus norvegicus
