pubmed:abstractText
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the predominant phospholipid component of circulating lipoproteins. The majority of PC is formed by the choline pathway. However, approximately one-third of hepatic PC can also be synthesized by phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT). PEMT is required for normal secretion of very-low-density lipoproteins from the liver. We hypothesized that lack of PEMT would attenuate atherosclerosis and improve myocardial function.
