Abstract: | Rats and cats were injected with [3H]choline, [14C]choline or [35S]thiamine. Choline and thiamine metabolites were extracted from different tissues by ion-pair extraction. Different Chromatographic techniques and the use of two separate precursors-choline and thiamine-showed that a fraction of the radioactivity was incorporated into a [3H]2-methylthiamine-like substance. A relationship was found between the amounts of radioactive acetylcholine and the 2-methylthiamine-like substance formed. |
