Intestinal Atp8b1 dysfunction causes hepatic choline deficiency and steatohepatitis [PDF]
Choline is an essential nutrient, and its deficiency causes steatohepatitis. Dietary phosphatidylcholine (PC) is digested into lysoPC (LPC), glycerophosphocholine, and choline in the intestinal lumen and is the primary source of systemic choline. However,

Severe choline deficiency induces alternative splicing aberrance in optimized duck primary hepatocyte cultures [PDF]
Objective Choline deficiency, one main trigger for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is closely related to lipid metabolism disorder. Previous study in a choline-deficient model has largely focused on gene expression rather than gene structure ...

Choline Deficiency Drives the Inflammation–Fibrosis Cascade: A Spatiotemporal Atlas of Hepatic Injury from Weeks 6 to 10 [PDF]
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is strongly linked to systemic metabolic disturbances and features a lipid-driven cascade that promotes hepatic inflammation and fibrosis.

Moderate Perinatal Choline Deficiency Elicits Altered Physiology and Metabolomic Profiles in the Piglet. [PDF]
Few studies have evaluated the impact of dietary choline on the health and well-being of swine, and those pivotal papers were aimed at determining dietary requirements for sows and growing pigs.

Evaluation of polyherbal formulation and synthetic choline chloride on choline deficiency model in broilers: implications on zootechnical parameters, serum biochemistry and liver histopathology [PDF]
Objective The study was designed to establish choline deficiency model (CDM) in broilers for evaluating efficacy of polyherbal formulation (PHF) in comparison with synthetic choline chloride (SCC).

Paradoxical oncogenic effects of hepatic Brca1 through modulating Bhmt [PDF]
The well-established tumor suppressor, Breast Cancer Susceptibility Gene 1 (BRCA1), has been implicated in lipid metabolism and in paradoxically promoting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); yet its mechanistic role remains unknown.

Suppression Effects of Betaine-Enriched Spinach on Hyperhomocysteinemia Induced by Guanidinoacetic Acid and Choline Deficiency in Rats [PDF]
Betaine is an important natural component of rich food sources, especially spinach. Rats were fed diets with betaine or spinach powder at the same level of betaine for 10 days to investigate the dose-dependent effects of spinach powder supplementation on
