Background: Many in vitro studies suggested that choline incorporation into many types of tumors is related to cell proliferation. Whether in vivo choline incorporation is related also to cell proliferation or not was my question. Therefore, the aim of this pilot study was to investigate the relationship of in vivo [methyl- 14C]-choline incorporation and in vivo [methyl-3H]- thymidine incorpora...

infertility can be caused by an unexplained reduction in semen quality in males who present asnormal on physical examination and endocrine testing. there is some evidence that aberrantmetabolism of micronutrients such as choline may play a causative role in male factorinfertility. choline is a crucial factor in the regulation of sperm membrane structure andmotility, and this nutrient plays an i...

α-amino nitriles are synthesized in a one-pot, three-component coupling of aldehydes (or ketones), aniline, and trimethylsilyl cyanide using a catalytic amount of choline chloride.2zncl2 as a bio lewis acidic ionic liquid. mild lewis acidic characteristic of this ionic liquid allows efficient synthesis of α-amino nitriles from acid sensitive aldehydes.

ACARA, MARGARET, AND BARBARA RENNICK. Rqylation of plasma choline by the renal tub&: bidirectional transport of choline. Am. J. Physiol. 225(5) : 1123-I 128. 1973-Choline is a biocation with a pK, of 13.5 which is actively transported by the organic cation transport system in the renal tubule. A radiochemical assay using choline kinase was adapted to measure free choline in plasma and urine wit...

Legionella dumoffii is an intracellular pathogen of freshwater protozoans capable infecting and multiplying in mammalian cells, causing a severe respiratory disease called Legionnaires’ disease. The pathomechanism infection development very complex depends on many factors, including the structure properties macromolecules that build components L. cell envelope. Phospholipids (PLs) forming biolo...

The sensitive, specific growth response to choline activity of the thermophilic enteric yeast Torulopsis pintolopessi enables estimation of free and bound choline activity in rat and human fluids and tissues- as little as 10 ng/ml of choline is measurable. Unlike other microbial assays, estimation of unbound (free) choline activity is not influenced by methionine or phospholipids. The method al...

OBJECTIVE Topical cytidine-5'-diphosphocholine (CDP-choline) improves functional recovery and promotes nerve regeneration in sciatic nerve injury in rats. The aims of this study were to test whether systemic treatment with CDP-choline was effective in improving the recovery of injured sciatic nerve, and to determine whether the cytidine and/or choline moieties of CDP-choline contribute to its ...

Objective(s): This study aimed to compare the diagnostic values of 11C-choline and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 10 patients (6 males and 4 females), aged 42-69 years, suspected of having CCA based on CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) resu...
