ChE activity and protein content of the brain and heart were determined in normal, 48-h starved and 21-days semistarved adult rats. No significant change was found in ChE activity or protein content in either tissue examined during acute starvation. After 21 days of semistarvation, a significant reduction was found in the heart, but not in the brain.
