DESCRIPTION
General description
Choline is a constituent of sphingomyelin and lecithin. It is a precursor of acetylcholine. Choline plays a vital role in methyl group metabolism, carcinogenesis and lipid transport. Choline deficiency is associated with fatty liver.[1] It maintains cell structural integrity and cell signalling.[2] Choline is implicated in the synthesis of phospholipids. It acts as a potent biomarker for ischemic heart disease.[3]
Application
Choline chloride has been used:
- in choline release assay[4]
- as an endogenous agonist of sigma-1 receptors (Sig-1Rs)[5]
- as a standard to analyse interrelationships between methionine and choline metabolism[6]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Choline is an essential nutrient, commonly grouped with the B complex vitamins, that plays key roles in many biological processes.
The enzymatic activities of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and paraoxonase 1 (PON1), two serum enzymes synthesized by the liver and related with inflammation, were decreased in a sepsis animal model injected with LPS. Choline chloride administered intravenously at 20 mg/kg body weight prevents the LPS-mediated decreases in the activities of these two enzymes.
