The new study highlights the effects of low dietary choline on the brain and other organs in mice. Low choline in the diet is associated with obesity, liver pathology and enlargement of the heart. Choline deficiency was also shown to be correlated with pathologies associated with Alzheimer's disease and the low-choline mice performed poorly in tests of motor skills.
