The decline in serum choline concentration in humans during and after surgery is associated with the elevation of cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin and β-endorphin concentrations
Serum choline concentrations decrease during and after surgery. We undertook this study to determine whether the decrease of choline is associated with an increase in stress hormones. In 16 patients undergoing abdominal surgery with general anesthesia, circulating choline cortisol, prolactin, adreno...

Zusammenfassung: | Serum choline concentrations decrease during and after surgery. We undertook this study to determine whether the decrease of choline is associated with an increase in stress hormones. In 16 patients undergoing abdominal surgery with general anesthesia, circulating choline cortisol, prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and β-endorphin levels were measured before, during and after surgery. Choline levels decreased by 41% (
