Abstract
Rats were fed lecithins, derived from eggs or soybeans, to determine whether the fatty acid composition of the phosphatidylcholine altered choline availability. Rats were fed either a single meal containing 5 g phosphatidylcholine or a lecithin-containing diet for 3 weeks, including approximately 5 g phosphatidylcholine per day. Each form of dietary lecithin elevated blood choline, brain choline and brain acetylcholine significantly (P < 0.05). There was no difference in response to egg- or soy-derived lecithin.Entities:
