Choline: a conditionally essential nutrient for humans
Nutr Rev.
1992 Apr.
Abstract
Tissue concentrations of choline decreased significantly while serum alanine aminotransferase activity, a marker of liver injury, increased sharply (by 50%) when healthy young adult men received a choline-free semisynthetic diet for three weeks. This study suggests that choline is an essential nutrient for humans when excess methionine and folate are not available in the diet.
