Detection of acetylcholinesterase activity and gamma-aminobutyric acid binding sites in Dicrocoelium dendriticum

In the present study we report the presence of acetylcholinesterase activity and gamma-aminobutyric acid binding sites in crude extracts of Dicrocoelium dendriticum. This indirectly demonstrates the presence of acetylcholine and GABA. The presence of these neurotransmitters could indicate the existe...
