L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is critical for brain development. Its function is dependent on lipid rafts (LR). Bilirubin localizes to LR and disrupts L1CAM function and signaling in the cerebellum of hyperbilirubinemic Gunn rats. Behavioral deficits caused by hyperbilirubinemia in choline-restricted rat pups are ameliorated by choline. We hypothesize that choline supplementation to choline restricted Gunn rat pups reduces the impact of bilirubin on L1CAM in vivo.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pregnant Gunn rat dams were placed on a choline-deficient diet on gestational day 5. Pups were administered choline or saline from P1-5. On P5, they were treated with saline or sulfadimethoxine (SDMX) which increases free bilirubin. Cerebella were harvested 24\u2009h later. L1CAM tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, and distribution of L1CAM in LR were determined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Saline supplemented homozygous (jj) pups treated with SDMX had a reduction in L1CAM tyrosine phosphorylation and Y1176 dephosphorylation and an increase in the proportion of L1CAM in LR.
