It is known that to catalyze the hydrolysis of cholesterol esters naturally polymers containing in their structure the ester bond, present in human serum. The assay is based on Allain’s such as PLA, undergo enzymatic degradation of cho- method of spectrophotometric determination of choles- lesterol esterase having the capacity to hydrolyse these terol by means of cholesterol oxidase, peroxidase, but bonds (Liu et al., 2001). using 3,5-dichloro-dihydroxybenzenesulfonic acid (DHBS) The availability of a simple and valid method to deter- as phenolic chromogen and human serum as a source mine cholesterol esterase activity will enable the selection TI - A simple method for the determination of the cholesterol esterase activity.
