Search for sex-dependent and gestation-induced changes in choline and ethanolamine phosphorylating activities.
Choline kinase and ethanolamine kinase of liver, brain and kidney had nearly the same activity in 4-month-old male and virgin female mice. Ethanolamine kinase activity was almost doubled in the liver and brain of mice in advanced pregnancy compared with the virgin, while choline kinase activity was unaltered.
