Measurement of plasma choline in acute coronary syndrome: importance of suitable sampling conditions for this assay

Abstract Blood choline has been proposed as a predictor of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), however different testing procedures might affect the choline concentration because the lysophospholipase D activity of autotaxin (ATX) can convert lysophosphatidylcholine to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and cho...
