“Measurement of the pool sizes of the aqueous intermediates of the CDP-choline pathway, following TPA treatment, revealed a modest decrease in the phosphocholine pool only, consistent with an activation of cytidylyltransferase.”

“However, patients treated with citicoline and recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator ( rt-PA ) showed a higher EPC increment compared to patients treated only with citicoline or non-treated (35·4±15·9 versus 8·4±8·1 versus 0·9±10·2 CFU-EC, P<0·0001).”
“CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that the combination of low-dose ci icoline an d rtP A si gnificantly reduced infarct size in this focal ischemia model.”
“Citicoline 500 mg/kg and citicoline combined with rtPA also promoted functional recovery.”
