Nine out of 10 Americans don’t meet the daily recommended choline goal of 550 mg,3 and this can be even more challenging for vegetarians.

Nine out of 10 Americans don’t meet the daily recommended choline intake of 550 mg1,2 and it can be challenging to reach this goal even when choosing choline-containing foods like beef, eggs, wheat germ and Brussels sprouts. Choline is particularly important during pregnancy for both mom and baby because it supports healthy brain growth and offers protection against neural tube defects. Women are encouraged to take a prenatal supplement before and during pregnancy to ensure they’re meeting vitamin and mineral recommendations. In fact, the American Medical Association recommends that choline be included in all prenatal vitamins to help ensure women get enough choline to maintain a normal pregnancy.3 Look for a prenatal supplement that contains folic acid, iron, DHA (omega-3s), vitamin D and choline. Consider smart swaps to get the most choline in your diet for a healthy pregnancy, as well as optimal health after baby arrives.

    CHOLINE METABOLISM IN RESPONSE TO CHOLINE INTAKE, PREGNANCY, AND POLYMORPHISMS OF ONE-CARBON METABOLIC GENES IN HUMANS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jian Yan January 2013 © 2013 Jian Yan CHOLINE METABOLISM IN RESPONSE TO CHOLINE INTAKE, PREGNANCY, AND POLYMORPHISMS OF ONE-CARBON METABOLIC GENES IN HUMANS Jian Yan Cornell University 2012 Choline, an essential nutrient, is critical in maintaining biomembrane integrity (via phosphatidylcholine) and supplying methyl groups for one-carbon metabolism (via betaine). Choline adequate intakes were established for the first time in 1998. However, little is known about the impact of pregnancy and genetic variation on choline metabolism and requirements. The overall goal of my research was to quantify the effects of pregnancy, genetic variation, and choline intake on biomarkers of choline metabolism. To achieve this goal, two separate feeding studies that employed stable isotope methodology were conducted. Study 1 examined the effect of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C→T genetic variant, and choline intake, on biomarkers of choline metabolism. Study 2 investigated the effect of pregnancy, and choline intake, on biomarkers of choline metabolism. Deuterium labeled methyl-d9-choline was administered in both studies as the tracer. Study 1 demonstrated that the MTHFR 677TT (versus the 677CC) genotype favors the use of choline as a methyl donor. MTHFR 677TT genotype enhanced the conversion of choline to betaine. In addition, when a higher choline intake was consumed, more of the choline was converted to betaine as opposed to entering the CDP-choline pathway for phosphatidylcholine synthesis among men with MTHFR 677TT (versus 677CC) genotype.

For this reason, 50, 75, 100, 200 µl/100 ml and pure concentrations of essential oils were applied in vivo and in vitro on these leafy vegetables. The results revealed the antioxidant activity of essential oils provided significant differences among leafy vegetables (P<0.01). Peroxidase activity was affected by coriander concentrations and 200 µl/100ml concentration of rosemary essential oil (reductions in peroxidase activity >80%) in the in vivo condition, when the enzyme was obtained from celery. In vivo application of 200 µl/100ml of thyme and rosemary essential oils on the spinach provided 78 % and 81% antioxidant activity, respectively. In vivo 50 µl/100ml of thyme essential oil exerted the 73% antioxidant ability on the romaine lettuce. Keywords: Peroxidase, Essential oils, Antioxidant, Celery, Spinach, Lettuce.
