Immediate Effects of Adipose‐Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Administration on Cholinesterase Levels and Grip Strength
Our findings demonstrate a significant immediate decrease in serum cholinesterase levels following ADSC administration. The observed decrease in cholinesterase levels might indicate an enhancement of acetylcholine activity, potentially explaining the trend towards improved grip strength. The immediate effects observed in this study are intriguing, as they suggest that ADSCs may have rapid neuromodulatory effects beyond their known regenerative properties. Previous studies have shown that ADSCs can differentiate into various cell types, including neural cells, and secrete neurotrophic factors. The trend towards improved grip strength, although not statistically significant, is noteworthy. Grip strength is a reliable indicator of overall muscle strength and has been associated with various health outcomes. The potential improvement in grip strength immediately after ADSC administration warrants further investigation, as it could have implications for patients with neuromuscular disorders.
