Quantitative analysis and fatty acid composition of phospholipid constituents in cerebrospinal fluid of various age groups

Cerebrospinal fluid choline in extrapyramidal disorders

“…Since CSF contains more than 7 n-mole/ml. choline phospholipids (Sastry and Stancer, 1968), this acetylation procedure may cause an in vitro increase of choline to be acetylated. In fact, Bowers (1967) reported different choline concentrations when acetylation was carried out with acetic anhydride before and after removal of proteins and phospholipids from the CSF.…”

The Neurochemical Basis of Acetylcholine Precursor Loading as a Therapeutic Strategy

“…As in the case of plasma, measurement of esterified forms of Ch in CSF may be more informative. There is so far little information available, but the concentration of Ch phospholipids is apparently larger than that of Ch (Sastry and Stancer, 1968). …”
