Abstract
The available biochemical data about CDP Choline as an intermediate in lipid metabolism, as well as its use as a drug in a number of pathological conditions of the brain, have been extensively reviewed5. CDP Choline may be considered to enhance the repair of phospholipid structures, initiating the present experimental study on an animal model of vasogenic brain edema. The results obtained on the model led to its clinical application in a series of severe head injuries, a condition in which brain edema is supposed to play an important role.
