What Is Lipo-C?
Lipo-C combines methionine, inositol, choline (MIC), and B vitamins. The methionine-choline deficient (MCD) diet is a standard NAFLD animal model, directly confirming the lipotropic role each component plays in hepatic fat metabolism.

Lipo-C in Hepatic Fat Export
Choline -> PC -> VLDL
Phosphatidylcholine is essential for VLDL particle assembly. Without adequate choline, VLDL cannot form and hepatic fat accumulates.
Methionine -> SAMe
SAMe provides methyl groups for PC synthesis – connecting the methylation cycle to hepatic fat export capacity.
Inositol -> VLDL Structure
Phosphatidylinositol contributes to VLDL structure and proper lipid packaging for hepatic fat export.
B12 -> Methylation Cycle
B12 supports conversion of homocysteine to methionine – maintaining methionine and SAMe availability.
The MCD Diet Model
The methionine-choline deficient (MCD) diet is one of the most commonly used NAFLD/NASH animal models. By removing two key Lipo-C components, researchers create reproducible hepatic steatosis and fibrosis – directly validating their lipotropic roles.

Lipo-C Handling
1
Store at 2-8 degrees C (liquid formulation)
Unlike lyophilized peptides, Lipo-C is a liquid. Do NOT freeze.
2
Protect from light
B vitamins are light-sensitive – store in original vial away from direct light.
3
Use standard aseptic technique
For any parenteral research application.
FenaLife supplies Lipo-C 10ml.
Conclusion
Lipo-C gives researchers a combined tool for studying hepatic fat metabolism, lipid transport, and one-carbon metabolism in NAFLD models.
