Objectives: This study tested whether continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) changes free or phospholipid-bound choline concentrations in serum or peritoneal dialysis fluid of patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD).
Design And Methods: Serum and dialysate choline and phospholipid-bound choline were measured before, during and after 6 h CAPD.
Results: Serum choline concentrations were higher in patients with ESRD compared with age-matched controls. CAPD lowered serum choline concentrations significantly although it did not influence phospholipid-bound choline. Choline accumulated in the dialysate, reaching 28.4 +/- 2.7 microM in children and 18.2 +/- 1.4 microM in adults, during six hours CAPD; phospholipid-bound choline increased to 22.9 +/- 2.5 microM and 10.8 +/- 1.4 microM in children and adults, respectively. The total daily loss of choline into the dialysate was 181 +/- 20 micromoles in children and 260 +/- 18 micromoles in adults.
Conclusion: CAPD causes a substantial loss of choline into peritoneal dialysates and reduces serum choline concentrations significantly.

Background: Choline is an important component of human breast milk and its content varies considerably among breastfeeding women and lactation periods.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between breast milk choline contents and inflammatory status in breastfeeding women.
Methods: Breast milk choline compounds and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were determined in breastfeeding women at 1 to 3 (n = 53) or 22 to 180 (n = 54) days postpartum, expressing colostrum or mature milk, respectively.

The endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) plays an important role in cardiovascular disease by binding protein C/activated protein C (APC). EPCR structure contains a hydrophobic groove filled with an unknown phospholipid needed to perform its function. It has not been established whether lipid exchange takes place in EPCR as a regulatory mechanism of its activity.

Background: Patients with intestinal failure who require long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) develop catheter thrombosis as a complication. This patient group may also develop choline deficiency because of a defect in the hepatic transsulfuration pathway in the setting of malabsorption. This study was undertaken to determine whether choline deficiency is a risk factor for development of catheter thrombosis.

Background/aim: [corrected] The transport of radiolabelled photoreceptor outer segments (POS) lipids was investigated by cultured retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE). Phagocytosis of POS by the RPE is essential to maintain the health and function of the photoreceptors in vivo. POS are phagocytised at the apical cell surface of RPE cells.
