An essential nutrient with roles in liver, neurological, hematological, and skeletal muscle homeostasis; a precursor in the biosynthesis of membrane phospholipids and to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine; is required for hepatic lipid transport; perinatal administration improves prenatal alcohol exposure-induced cognitive deficits in rats at 18.8 mg/kg; improves motor coordination and behavioral deficits in a mouse model of Rett syndrome at 13 mg/animal per day; improves deficits in recognition memory induced by early-life iron deficiency in rats at 5 ppm in the drinking water; deficiences are positively correlated with muscle wasting; dietary administration increases leg and breast muscle protein content in broiler chickens
