Study Summary

People who eat diets low in choline (LC) should deplete their choline (Cho) stores, and measurements of Cho pool size using isotope dilution should reflect this depletion. Investigators will identify a biomarker panel that correlates well with measured Cho pool size across the range of different degrees of depletion.The investigators propose that, as body stores of Cho diminish, cells and organs will reach the point when metabolism/function in the cell is altered, and that this will result in a progression of changes in biomarkers that reflect Cho status.

Primary Outcome

The investigator will evaluate direct measures of Choline derived pools and using isotope dilution will provide an estimate of the size of the body pool of choline, while also profiling choline-related metabolites. MRS/MRI will assess Cho compounds in liver and fatty liver (also used to validate Fibroscan) to confirm measures utilizing isotope dilution.
