Citicoline (CDP-choline; cytidine 5'-diphosphocholine) is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of cell membrane phospholipids. Citicoline serves as a choline donor in the biosynthetic pathways of acetylcholine and neuronal membrane phospholipids, mainly phosphatidylcholine. The ability of
While sialylation plays important functions in the nervous system, the complexity of glycosylation pathways and limitations of genetic approaches preclude the efficient analysis of these functions in mammalian organisms. Drosophila has recently emerged as a promising model for studying neural
The cerebellar incorporation of labeled choline into phosphatidylcholine (PC) and its hydrosoluble choline-containing precursors has been examined during the course of bicuculline-induced convulsive seizures. The labeling of phosphocholine and of PC diminished in these conditions whereas that of
BACKGROUND
Choline alfoscerate (α-GPC) and Cytidine 5'-diphosphocholine (CDPCholine) are both acetylcholine precursors and are considered to act as pro-cholinergic nootropic agents. Acetylcholine precursors have also recently found frequent use in the neurology clinic. Stroke and many types of
We studied the dose-dependent effect of preventive intraperitoneal injection of citicoline (cytidine 5'-diphosphocholine) on acute generalized epileptiform activity in C57Bl/6 mice. The duration of citicoline action was also evaluated. Administration of citicoline in doses of 500 and 1000 mg/kg 1 h
Genetic defects in the pyrimidine nucleoside transporters of the CNT transporter family have not yet been reported. Metabolic investigations in a patient with infantile afebrile tonic-clonic seizures revealed increased urinary uridine and cytidine excretion. Segregation of this metabolic trait in
In CHOm3 cells and rat cerebral cortex slices, epi-inositol was less potent but as effective as myo-inositol in reversing carbachol/lithium-stimulated CMP-PA accumulation whereas L-chiro- and scyllo-inositol were less active or inactive. These results with the four inositol isomers in two tissues
Citicoline (cytidine-5'-diphosphocholine) is a neuroprotective agent that is administered following ischemic and traumatic brain injuries. There is little information about the antiseizure and anxiolytic effects of citicoline, which are therefore addressed in the present study. For evaluating the
OBJECTIVE
To identify the underlying genetic defect in a patient with intellectual disability, seizures, ataxia, macrothrombocytopenia, renal and cardiac involvement, and abnormal protein glycosylation.
METHODS
Genetic studies involved homozygosity mapping by 250K single nucleotide polymorphism
Ethanolamine phosphotransferase (EPT)1, also known as selenoprotein 1 (SELENOI), is an enzyme that transfers phosphoethanolamine from cytidine diphosphate-ethanolamine to lipid acceptors to produce ethanolamine glycerophospholipids, such as diacyl-linked phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and
