摘要: Cytidine-5-diphosphocholine (CDP-choline, also referred as citicoline), the key intermediate in phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) synthesis, provided significant benefit experimental central nervous system (CNS) injury including cerebral ischemia. CDP-choline is synthesized by CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT), rate-limiting enzyme PtdCho synthesis. Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) hydrolyzes to produce free fatty acids and lyso-PtdCho, an inhibitor of CCT. We investigated status CCT lyso-PtdCho after 10-min transient brain ischemia gerbils with reperfusion up 2 days. Ischemia no resulted loss activity cytosol (408 8 pmol/min/mg protein
