Choline Inhibition of Prothrombinase
… was to characterize the inhibitory effects of choline on the terminal enzymatic complex of the blood coagulation cascade. Reports in the literature have indicated that choline lengthens whole plasma clotting time with a likely site of inhibition being the step that converts prothrombin (II) to …

Interrelationships Among Sulfur Amino Acids, Choline and Betaine in the Chicken: Effects on Betaine-Homocysteine Methyltransferase Activity, Homocysteine Utilization and Choline Bioavailability
… to 22-d-old chicks) were conducted to determine choline bioavailability in fluid lecithin (FL), deoiled lecithin (DL), soybean meal (SBM), canola meal (CM) and peanut meal (PM). A basal diet containing soy protein isolate and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (an inhibitor of choline biosynthesis) was …

The Effect of Caffeine and Choline on Short-term Memory
… to determine whether caffeine combined with choline could improve short-term memory in healthy adults. The study tested the effect of choline (2 gm) alone and in combination with several concentrations of caffeine (25 mg, 50mg and 100mg) on short-term verbal and visual memory and attention. …

Lateral Parabrachial Choline Acetyltransferase Neurons and the Decision to Eat
… is molecularly diverse and expresses the acetylcholine synthesis enzyme: choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). In this study, we used ChAT-CRE mice to investigate the anatomical projections, the calcium dynamics, and the causal role of the LPBN ChAT neurons. Anatomical projection results were …

Near Infrared Fluorescent Choline Kinase Inhibitors for Cancer Imaging and Therapy
Choline kinase alpha (ChoKa) deregulation is associated with a more aggressive phenotype and greater malignancy in many human cancers. Inhibitors of ChoKa induce apoptosis in tumorigenic cells, but validation of their specificity is difficult in vivo. Alterations in the profile of choline …

Cloning, Heterologous Expression, and Characterization of Human and Escherichia Coli Choline Dehydrogenases
Membrane bound choline dehydrogenase (CHDH) catalyzes the first committed step of choline oxidation to betaine-glycine in mammals and in some bacteria such as E. coli and P. aeruginosa . In mammals, it is an important source of one-carbon units for cytosolic folate- and AdoMet-dependent reactions, …

The Development of Microelectrochemical Choline and Acetylcholine Biosensors for Real-Time Neurochemical Monitoring
The aim of this thesis was the development of a choline biosensor for the electrochemical detection of choline in the brain, which could subsequently be modified for acetylcholine detection. The choline biosensor was characterised in-vitro to optimise sensitivity towards choline which resulted in …

Effects of perinatal dietary choline supplementation on learning and memory in the adult rat
The effects of perinatal choline supplementation on learning and memory in the adult rat were investigated. Subjects were 36 experimentally naive female and male Long-Evans rats. A .05M/litre solution of saccharin containing either 0or 5m1/litre of 70% choline chloride was administered via drinking …
