Description

Uridine plays a vital role in the glycolysis pathway of galactose. It is used as a precursor in the production of CDP-choline. It is an important nutrient and widely used as a dietary supplement. It improves brain cholinergic functions and hepatic mitochondrial function in certain liver toxins. It plays a major role in pain physiology and brain energy utilization to maintain ATP production under restricted oxygen conditions.
