Are Choline Transporters Implicated in Some POTS Patients? with Dr. Laila Schenkel
In this episode, Dr. Laila Schenkel discusses her research on choline transporters and their potential implication in POTS. By studying the choline transporter in the skin of a POTS patient and comparing it with controls, she discovered that the transporters are fewer in number and less functional in the POTS patient. This finding highlights a possible underlying mechanism contributing to POTS symptoms, emphasizing the need for further exploration into how choline transporter deficiencies might affect autonomic function in POTS patients.
