Abstract

Choline is considered mandatory to the animal organism and is utilized both as a building unit and as essential component in regulation of certain metabolic processes. Choline is tentatively classified as one of the B-complex vitamins even though it doesn't entirely satisfy the strict definition of a vitamin. Choline, unlike B vitamins, can be synthesized in the liver, is required in the body in greater amounts, and apparently functions as a structural constituent rather than as a coenzyme. Although, existence of choline in essential body constituents was recognized long before the first vitamin was discovered. Regardless of classification, choline is an essential nutrient for all livestock and a required dietary supplement for some species (poultry, swine). Choline is likewise an essential nutrient for humans, and studies have investigated the benefits of choline treatment for certain diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

Keywords: Choline. Animal. B-complex Vitamins. Essential Nutrient.

Entomology and Applied Science Letters is an international double-blind peer reviewed publication which publishes scientific research & review articles related to insects that contain information of interest to a wider audience, e.g. papers bearing on the theoretical, genetic, agricultural, medical and biodiversity issues. Emphasis is also placed on the selection of comprehensive, revisionary or integrated systematics studies of broader biological or zoogeographical relevance. In addition to full-length research articles and reviews, the journal publishes interpretive articles in a Forum section, Short Communications, and Letters to the Editor. The journal publishes reports on all phases of medical entomology and medical acarology, including the systematics and biology of insects, acarines, and other arthropods of public health and veterinary significance.

Announcement and Advertisement
Announcements regarding scientific activities such as conferences, symposium, are published for free. Advertisements can be either published or placed on website as banners.

Associations
Entomology and Applied Science Letters supports the submission of entomological papers that contain information of interest to a wider reader groups e. g. papers bearing on taxonomy, phylogeny, biodiversity, ecology, systematic, agriculture, morphology. The selection of comprehensive, revisionary or integrated systematics studies of broader biological or zoogeographical relevance is also important. Distinguished entomologists drawn from different parts of the world serve as honorary members of the Editorial Board. The journal encompasses all the varied aspects of entomological research.
