Definition
English
:
A condition produced by a deficiency of
CHOLINE
in
animals
.
Choline
is known as a lipotropic agent because it has been shown to promote the transport of excess fat from the liver under certain conditions in
laboratory
animals
. Combined deficiency of
choline
(included in the B
vitamin
complex) and all other methyl group donors causes
liver cirrhosis
in some
animals
. Unlike compounds normally considered as
vitamins
,
choline
does not serve as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions. (From Saunders
Dictionary
& Encyclopedia of
Laboratory
Medicine
and
Technology
, 1984)
