Abstract excerpt
Fragile X syndrome is a learning disability caused by excess of CGG repeats in the 5' untranslated region of the Fragile X gene (FMR1) silencing its transcription and translation. We used a murine model of this condition, Fmr1 knock-out mice (KO) to study acetylcholine (ACh) metabolism and compared it to that of wild-type control mice (WT). Brain endogenous ACh (D0ACh), free choline (D0Ch), their deuterated...
