Summary The activity of cholinesterase was determined in the walls of a number of blood vessels (ductus arteriosus, aorta in the vicinity of the ostium of ductus arteriosus, pulmonary trunk and femoral artery). Newborn kittens and puppies served as experimental animals. The cholinesterase activity was the least in the wall of ductus arteriosus. In the author's opinion, the data obtained are of interest from the viewpoint of a neuro-reflex mechanism of closure of the ductus arteriosus.
