La concentration d'acétylcholine est diminuée chez les personnes atteintes de la maladie d'Alzheimer. En inhibant l'enzyme (cholinestérase) qui la dégrade, certains agents connus sous le nom d'inhibiteurs de la cholinestérase permettent à de plus grandes concentrations d'acétylcholine de s'accumuler dans le cerveau. Cette action peut conduire à une amélioration de la fonction cognitive chez les personnes atteintes de la maladie d'Alzheimer. 2, record 2, French, - cholinest%C3%A9rase
