Choline is essential for maintaining the structure and function of cells in humans. Choline plays an important role in eye health and disease. It is a precursor of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system, and it is involved in the production and secretion of tears by the lacrimal glands. It also contributes to the stability of the cells and tears on the ocular surface and is involved in retinal development and differentiation. Choline deficiency is associated with retinal hemorrhage, glaucoma, and dry eye syndrome. Choline supplementation may be effective for treating these diseases.
胆碱对于维持人体细胞的结构和功能至关重要。胆碱在眼睛健康和疾病中扮演着重要的角色。它是乙酰胆碱的前体，乙酰胆碱是副交感神经系统的神经递质，参与泪液的产生和分泌。它还有助于眼表面细胞和泪液的稳定，并参与视网膜发育和分化。胆碱缺乏与视网膜出血、青光眼和干眼症有关。胆碱补充可能对这些疾病的治疗有效。
