%X 200 healthy persons in Punjabi population have been assessed for level of pseudo cholinesterase inmales and females of different age groups (Substrate: butyryl thiocholine iodide). There was no evidenceof any age dependency or sex specific distinction in children (1-10 years) nor were there any age dependentchanges observed in males(15-60 years). In females(10-40 years) an age dependent difference ofcholinesterase values became apparent regardless of pregnancy or use of hormonal contraceptives. The catalyticconcentration was found lower in younger females(12-40 years) than in older ones (above 40 years) whereenzyme level in old age group did not differ from those of males and children.
