Abstract
Of the 5 compounds tested only betaine was found to possess lipotropic properties. Its activity was estimated to be approximately 30% of that of choline. The relationship of these results to the theory that choline acts by enabling lecithin formation to take place is discussed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
