Cytidine-5'-diphosphocholine (citicoline or CDP-choline) is an essential intermediate in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, an important component of the neural cell membrane. Citicoline provided significant neuroprotection after transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils. This study was undertaken to examine changes and effects of citicoline on phospholipids and glutathione synthesis after transient cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.
