Oxidative Stress
ROS accumulation decreases hepatocyte function Fatty acid relative to no fatty acid for each treatment Increasing Choline concentration tended to decrease
ROS • 2 mM choline had lowest ROS
dL Met did not change ROS
Chandler et al., 2015
Hepatocyte Response Summary
Increasing dL MetDecreases endogenous Met regenerationDid not increase PEMT and does not change VLDL exportDid not change ROS
Increasing Choline Increases endogenous Met regenerationTended to decrease ROS accumulation Increased VLDL packaging
Chandler et al., 2015
Hepatocyte Response Summary
Suggests a biological priority for methyl donor use Whole-animal and cellular levelLack of interaction supports separate roles for Met
and Choline Increased NEFA may shift pathways of Met
regenerationCellular Met need can be met by dietary Met or by
endogenous regenerationMet regeneration requires methyl donation
Choline can provide the methyl groupChandler et al.,
