Four patients with Friedreich's ataxia took part in an open trial, in which they consumed 50-100g/day lecithin granules (containing approximately 22% phosphatidycholine) for 16 weeks, but no improvement resulted. Several unwanted effects including diarrhoea, nausea, depression, "hot flushes" and weakness were experienced. Resting levels of free-choline in plasma were within the range found in 19 normal subjects. Sixteen other patients with Friedreich's ataxia also had normal free-choline levels. Treatment with lecithin significantly increased plasma free-choline levels, but there was a trend for these to fall towards baseline levels, despite continued ingestion of lecithin.
四名弗里德赖希共济失调患者参与了一项开放试验,他们连续16周每天服用50 - 100克卵磷脂颗粒(约含22%磷脂酰胆碱),但未出现病情改善。出现了一些不良反应,包括腹泻、恶心、抑郁、“潮热”和虚弱。血浆中游离胆碱的静息水平在19名正常受试者的范围内。另外16名弗里德赖希共济失调患者的游离胆碱水平也正常。卵磷脂治疗显著提高了血浆游离胆碱水平,但尽管持续摄入卵磷脂,这些水平仍有降至基线水平的趋势。
