a nutrient in the vitamin b complex that the body needs in small amounts to function and stay healthy. choline helps cells make membranes, make a neurotransmitter (a chemical that helps nerve cells communicate with other cells), and remove fat from the liver. it is found in whole milk, beef liver, eggs, soy foods, and peanuts. choline is water-soluble (can dissolve in water) and must be taken in every day. not enough choline can cause diseases of the heart and blood vessels and damage to the liver. a form of choline is being studied in the treatment of some types of cancer and to reduce pain and fever. choline is also being studied together with vitamin b12 in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
身体の機能や健康維持のために少量だけ必要とされるビタミンb群の栄養素。コリンは、細胞による膜の形成、神経伝達物質(神経細胞が他の細胞との間で行う情報伝達に関与する化学物質)の生成、肝臓からの脂肪の排除などに関与している。全乳、ウシのレバー、卵、大豆食品、ピーナッツなどに含まれる。コリンは水溶性(水に溶けること)であり、毎日摂取する必要がある。コリンが不足すると、心臓や血管の疾患が発生したり、肝臓が損傷を受けたりする可能性がある。コリンの一種が、一部のがんに対する治療や痛みと発熱を軽減する治療の分野で研究されている。コリンはまた、がんの予防および治療の分野でビタミンb12とともに研究されている。

Coined from Ancient Greek χολή (kholḗ, “bile”).
The chemical compound was first isolated by Adolph Strecker from pig and ox bile (hence the name) in 1862. It was also named neurine when chemically synthesized by Oscar Liebreich in 1865, until 1898 when shown to be identical to choline.
