Glycerophosphocholine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Glycerophosphocholine ((S)-Glycerolphosphocholine) is an orally active metabolite that crosses the blood-brain barrier. Glycerophosphocholine acts as a precursor of acetylcholine, a specific marker for phosphatidylcholine breakdown, a major water-soluble storage form of choline, and an intermediate in phosphatidylcholine metabolism. Glycerophosphocholine is specifically elevated in the cerebrospinal fluid of Alzheimer's disease models, and it also promotes growth hormone secretion and fat oxidation. Glycerophosphocholine is also a potential biomarker for breast cancer.
