This is the first study to report increases in choline and
CDP-choline during postmortem aging of beef.
Citicoline (
CDP-choline) is an endogenous compound widely available as a nutraceutical that has been approved for TBI therapy in 59 countries.

Specific nutraceuticals including
CDP-choline, lithium, fish oil, D3, B12, and whatever else is needed according to testing are prescribed.
CDP-choline (cytidine-5-diphosphocholine) is a mononucleotide produced in all mammalian cells.
Two major membrane bilayer phospholipids PC and PE are produced from choline and ethanolamine and the common lipid intermediate diacylglycerol in the process known as the de novo
CDP-choline and CDP-ethanolamine Kennedy pathway [44, 45] (Figure 2).
Washington, May 28 (ANI): The dietary supplement
CDP-choline, that acts as a brain-boosting agent and under study for stroke and traumatic brain injury, may prevent skull and brain damage resulting from alcohol consumption early in pregnancy, according to a new research.
Other phospholipids involved in choline biosynthetic pathways such as
CDP-choline, choline alphoscerate and phosphatidylserine clearly enhanced ACh availability or release and provided a modest improvement of cognitive dysfunction in AD, these effects being more pronounced with choline alphoscerate.
In vivo study was carried out to ascertain whether treatment with quercetin and
CDP-choline intercalated in mannosylated liposomes exert any neuroprotective effect against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion evoked oxidative damage in young or aged rat brain)
Citicoline monosodium (
CDP-choline) is approved in Europe and Japan for stroke and head trauma.[17,50] It is not yet available in the United States.
The choline supplementation down-regulated the gene expression of PEMT in the liver of IUGR pigs, suggesting stimulating of the
CDP-choline pathway to synthesize PC in the IUGR pigs.
