Neutrality

[edit]

Was this really an "educational assignment?" We are talking about a phospholipid here right? This just contains information on stents. In fact, it's ALL ABOUT STENTS except the first line. Bloomingdedalus (talk) 18:51, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Phosphocholine/Phosphorylcholine/Phosphatidylcholine

[edit]

What's the diference between phosphocholine and phosphorylcholine? I think they are the same molecule. Phosphocholine is not a phospholipid but a part of a phospholipid (the polar head). The article says phosphorylcholine is a functional group, so it is not a phospholipid either, but a part of a bigger molecule. However, it seems that phophorylcholine is used here with the meaning "phospholipid" (phosphatidylcholine) and a polymer of phophorylcholine (what compound exactly?) is used in stents. Maybe I'm wrong but I think the text should be clarified.Miguelferig (talk) 19:30, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
