Several factors can influence cholinesterase activity, including:
- Genetic Variability: Certain genetic polymorphisms can result in different levels of cholinesterase activity among individuals. - Age and Sex: Cholinesterase levels can vary with age and between sexes. - Health Conditions: Liver diseases, malnutrition, and certain medications can alter cholinesterase activity. - Exposure to Inhibitors: Acute or chronic exposure to organophosphates and carbamates directly inhibits cholinesterase activity.
