The association between plasma betaine level and brain structural changes in schizophrenia [PDF]

Schizophrenia
Previous studies on metabolic profiling have shown decreased plasma levels of betaine in schizophrenia. Betaine serves as a substrate of betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase, which converts homocysteine to methionine.

Daidzein-betaine cocrystal alleviates high-energy and low-protein diet induced fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome in laying hens through gut-liver axis [PDF]

Poultry Science
Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) severely endangers the health and productivity of laying hens, marked by hepatic steatosis and impaired lipid metabolism. Daidzein-betaine cocrystal improves lipid metabolism in the diet-induced obesity mice.

Making the case for prophylactic use of betaine to promote brain health in young (15–24 year old) athletes at risk for concussion

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Betaine supplementation in the context of human nutrition, athletic performance, and clinical therapy demonstrate that the osmolyte and methyl donor, betaine, is cytoprotective and beneficial to human health.

Comparing effects of natural betaine and betaine hydrochloride on gut physiology in broiler chickens

Poultry Science, 2022
: Betaine is a well-known component of poultry diets with various effects on nutritional physiology. For example, increased water retention due to the osmolytic effect of betaine increases the volume of the cell, thereby accelerating the anabolic ...

Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of betaine (betaine anhydrous and betaine hydrochloride) as a feed additive for all animal species based on a dossier submitted by VITAC EEIG [PDF]

EFSA Journal, 2013
Glycine betaine (betaine) acts as a methyl group donor in transmethylation reactions in organisms. Betaine occurs in numerous vertebrate tissues as an osmolyte, ensuring osmoprotection. Betaine is safe for piglets at the maximum supplementation rate of 2

Plasma lipids and betaine are related in an acute coronary syndrome cohort. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Low plasma betaine has been associated with unfavorable plasma lipid profiles and cardiovascular risk. In some studies raised plasma betaine after supplementation is associated with elevations in plasma lipids.
