Abstract
THE lipotropic action of choline1 and the role of cholino in the formation of acetylcholine have not hitherto been studied in the same experimental animals. It seems reasonable to suppose, however, that, in addition to the production of the familiar fatty liver, lack of dietary choline might result in deficient formation of the neurohumour, acetylcholine. The findings in preliminary experiments2suggested that this is indeed the case.
