title: Pharmacological study of oral CDP-choline. Interaction with oxotremorine on the parasympathetic system.
abstract: The efficacy of an oral treatment of cytidine diphosphate choline (CDP-choline, citicoline, Somazina) is studied with reference to the effects on parasympathetic stimulation provoked by oxotremorine administration in mice. A decrease in sialorrhea, diarrhea and induced hypothermia is observed.
