最近的研究表明,胆碱在脑中具有拟胆碱的作用。患有癫痫和某些中枢胆碱缺乏的病人,用胆碱治疗可取得良好的疗效。胆碱的这种拟胆碱用可能的机理包括增加中枢释放乙酰胆碱以及直接起激动剂的作用,作者试验了胆碱是否起胆碱能毒蕈碱激动剂的作用。胆碱作为一种拟胆碱药其生理功能表现出很大的差异,在不同的实验中,它的效力为乙酰胆碱的 Recent studies have shown that choline has a choline effect in the brain. Patients with epilepsy and some of the central choline deficiency, choline treatment can achieve good results. The possible mechanisms for this cholinergic use of choline include increasing central release of acetylcholine and direct agonists, and the authors tested whether cholinergic choline acts as a muscarinic agonist. Choline, as a cholinergic, shows great differences in its physiological functions. In different experiments, its potency is that of acetylcholine
