Currently, the participation of choline in various links in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis has been reliably established. Choline, discovered by Strecker (1849) in bile, and synthetically first obtained by Wrtz (1867), is an aminoalcohol and is a derivative of ammonium hydroxide, in which three hydrogen atoms are replaced by methyl CH3 groups and to which glycol is combined by the elimination of water.
