Abstract

The effect of choline deficiency on the lung lipids of actively growing male Sprague-Dawley rats was investigated using a washed soy protein diet deficient in choline and methionine (lipotrophic). The livers from deficient animals had a significantly increased total lipid content and decreased phosphatidylcholine (PC) content and PC-to-phosphatidylethanolamine ratio (P less than 0.01). Although lung free choline levels were decreased 40% compared with controls (P less than 0.05), the PC content of the whole lung homogenate was unchanged. However, disaturated phosphatidylcholine from animals receiving the lipotrophic diet was significantly increased in the lavage and proportionally decreased in the lavaged lung tissue compared with controls (P less than 0.01). This study indicates that, despite decreased lung choline levels as a result of ingesting a lipotrophic diet, and unlike the liver, lung PC content is maintained at normal values. Although the lung total PC levels are maintained, there is a change in the partition of this lipid pool between the tissue and the alveolar space.
