چکیده

Micromethods for the determination of choline have been described by Beattie (1936) and Glick (1944). Both procedures involved the use of Reinecke salt as a precipitant, required 20150 pmoles of choline and depended on measurement of the pink colour of an acetone solution of the precipitate. More sensitive modifications of the reineckate method depend upon measurement of the chromium content of the precipitate (Marenzi & Cardini, 1943) or the absorption at 328 mye (Winzler & Meserve, 1945). The use of potassium periodide as a choline precipitant was described first by Stanek (1905) and has since been modified by Erickson, Avrin, Teague & Williams (1940) and by Appleton, La Du, Levy, Steele & Brodie (1953). Levine & Chargaff (1951) have described a semiquantitative method involving chromatography on paper and subsequent treatment with phosphomolybdic acid. Choline shows up as a yellow spot which may be reduced with stannous chloride to give a blue colour. The reaction between choline and phosphomolybdic acid has been investigated and this paper presents the results obtained and provides details of a method for the microdetermination of choline.

The Determination of Choline in Phospholipids

The use of reineckate as a precipitating agent in the determination of choline was introduced by Kapfhammer and Bischoff (1). This precipitation was later adapted by Beattie to the calorimetric determination of micro quantities of choline (2). Beattie used a saturated solution of ammonium reineckate in water for the precipitation of choline and stated that the precipitation of choline at temper...

Enzymatic measurement of choline-containing phospholipids in bile.

An enzymatic method, previously used to determine choline-containing phospholipids in serum, was applied to the estimation of phospholipid concentration in bile. The method combines three enzymatic reactions: a) release of choline by phospholipase D; b) choline oxidation by choline oxidase, a reaction which generates hydrogen peroxide; and c) formation of a red quinone dye by peroxidase. The me...

On the determination of choline in the liver and plasma of the dog.

It was found in this laboratory that practically all phospholipids of plasma of the dog and man are of the choline-containing type, an observation that is not in agreement with those of other investigators (1). It was pointed out that the explanation of the discrepancy between the results obtained here and elsewhere would probably be found in the methods employed for the determination of phosph...

AMPEROMETRIC MICROBIOSENSOR FOR THE DETERMINATION OF CHOLINE

The construction and performance of an amperometric microbiosensor for the determination of choline chloride by immobilizing choline oxidase on a cellulose acetate membrane are described. The procedure of choline determination involved the electrochemical detection of enzymatically generated hydrogen peroxide. This microsensor has a linear response between 0.038-0.1 mM choline chloride. The...

A procedure for the determination of high-density lipoprotein choline-containing phospholipids.

A procedure for the determination of serum high-density lipoprotein choline-containing phospholipids is described. The choline-containing phospholipids represent 91-97% of the total serum and high-density lipoprotein phospholipids, which have previously been determined in relation to liver disease, neoplastic disorders, diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis. The enzymatic assay is quick, simple...
