Abstract
Ethionine and diethylcholine, ethyl homologs of methionine and of choline respectively, reduce liver fat and prevent hemorrhagic kidney degeneration of rats on a low-choline, low-methionine diet. This effect cannot be due to direct participation in lecithin formation since subnormal amts. of choline or its ethyl analogs were found in the liver.Keywords
