Guest guest Posted March 5, 2000 Report Share Posted March 5, 2000 Hi, Just a minor correction: >Ah ha... choline is lecithin Lecithin is phosphatidylcholine - a fat with a choline " head group " . Choline is used to make lecithin, but they are quite different: lecithin is a large molecule, used in making membranes; choline is a small, water-soluble molecule. Lecithin is especially important in the brain for neural membranes. Choline of course is used in acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter.
