16011852 Wheelock CE, Eder KJ, Werner I, Huang H, Jones PD, Brammell BF, Elskus AA, Hammock BD: Individual variability in esterase activity and CYP1A levels in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) exposed to esfenvalerate and chlorpyrifos. Aquat Toxicol. 2005 Aug 30;74(2):172-92.

In contrast, liver carboxylesterase activity was significantly inhibited at both the low and high chlorpyrifos dose exposure (56% and 79% inhibition, respectively), while esfenvalerate exposure still had little effect.

Here, we show that CES1 protein is robustly expressed in human THP-1 monocytes/macrophages and its biochemical activity inhibited following treatment of cell lysates and intact cells with chlorpyrifos oxon, paraoxon, or methyl paraoxon (with nanomolar IC (50) values) or after immunodepletion of CES1 protein.

Little information is available, however, on the maturational expression of liver carboxylesterases in humans.

Pups were sacrificed on postnatal days 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 for the determination of brain, heart, lung, and serum cholinesterase, and brain choline acetyltransferase activities, along with liver carboxylesterase activity.

Egasyn-beta-glucuronidase complex is located at the luminal site of liver microsomal endoplasmic reticulum.
Thus, the single administration of EPN (O-ethyl O-p-nitrophenylphenylphosphonothioate), acephate and chlorpyrifos increased plasma BG activity in approximately 100-fold the control level in rats.

Brain ChE inhibition in pups was less severe than in dams, whereas liver carboxylesterase (CbxE) inhibition in pups was at the same level as in dams.
