- Abstract
The choline moiety of phosphatidylcholine (PC) molecules provides protection against reductive stress conditions in vitro, and PC possess remarkable antiinflammatory features by influencing intercellular adhesion and macrophage activation. During endotoxemia, PC administration may partially counteract the effects of nitric oxide overproduction by scavenging nitric oxide and enhancing its elimination. The present study also provides further support for the anti-inflammatory characteristics of PC.
