Notes: sn-glycero-3-Phosphocholine (sn-glycero-3-PC) is a nootropic phospholipid, a precursor to choline biosynthesis, and an intermediate in the metabolism of phosphatidylcholine.{32447} In vivo, sn-glycero-3-PC is converted to phosphorylcholine, a metabolically active form of choline that increases acetylcholine synthesis and release in rat hippocampus. It prevents scopolamine-induced amnesia in a passive avoidance test in rats and exerts neuroprotective effects in models of altered cholinergic neurotransmission and models of brain vascular injury.{32447,45044}
