Betaine Accumulation and Betaine-Aldehyde Dehydrogenase in Spinach Leaves [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1981
Spinach leaf discs accumulated betaine when exposed to a mannitol solution of -20 bars. The accumulation was 12 micromoles per gram original fresh weight in a 24-hour period.Betaine-aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.8) was assayed in various subcellular fractions prepared from spinach leaves, and it was found only in the soluble fraction. This cytosolic

Variability of plasma and urine betaine in diabetes mellitus and its relationship to methionine load test responses: an observational study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2012
Background Since betaine is an osmolyte and methyl donor, and abnormal betaine loss is common in diabetes mellitus (>20% patients), we investigated the relationship between betaine and the post-methionine load rise in homocysteine, in diabetes and ...

DNA methylation potential: dietary intake and blood concentrations of one-carbon metabolites and cofactors in rural African women. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Animal models show that periconceptional supplementation with folic acid, vitamin B-12, choline, and betaine can induce differences in offspring phenotype mediated by epigenetic changes in DNA. In humans, altered DNA methylation patterns have
