Interruption of the corticostriatal pathway by undercutting the frontal cortex resulted after 2 weeks in a 40% reduction of basal acetylcholine (ACh) release in vivo, and in inhibition of the striatal sodium-dependent high-affinity uptake of choline (SDHACU) to the same

The Na(+)-independent, high affinity choline carrier system proposed to supply choline for the synthesis of cell membrane phospholipids was recently associated with SLC44 family members (SLC44A1-5) also called choline-like transporter family. SLC44A1 is widely expressed throughout the nervous system in

Intestinal microbiota metabolism of choline and phosphatidylcholine produces trimethylamine (TMA), which is further metabolized to a proatherogenic species, trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). We demonstrate here that metabolism by intestinal microbiota of dietary L-carnitine, a trimethylamine abundant in red meat, also produces TMAO
