Fluctuations of free choline levels in plasma of Alzheimer patients receiving lecithin: preliminary observations

P Chuaqui and R Levy

Plasmas of 12 patients currently taking part in a double-blind trial of lecithin in senile or presenile dementia of Alzheimer type were analysed for plasma choline levels at fixed intervals during lecithin treatment. The values were not maintained at a constant level and showed a decline after one or two months of treatment, often followed by a subsequent rise. Possible explanations for this observation are given, and its significance to the treatment of dementia discussed.
