Betaine Alleviates LPS-Induced Chicken Skeletal Muscle Inflammation with the Epigenetic Modulation of the TLR4 Gene

Animals, 2022
Betaine was found to alleviate inflammation in different studies. Here, newly hatched broilers were randomly divided into control and betaine consumptive groups, who had access to normal drinking water and water with betaine at a dose of 1000 mg/L ...

Prediction and Biochemical Demonstration of a Catabolic Pathway for the Osmoprotectant Proline Betaine

mBio, 2014
Through the use of genetic, enzymatic, metabolomic, and structural analyses, we have discovered the catabolic pathway for proline betaine, an osmoprotectant, in Paracoccus denitrificans and Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

Nonnative Thiol and Aniline Methylation, Including Enantioselective Dithiol Desymmetrization, by Multicomponent Cobamide‐Dependent Methyltransferases Using Unactivated Methyl Donors

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Mixed MtaABC/MtgABC methyltransferase systems were developed for non‐native thiol and aniline methylation using the unactivated methyl donors methanol and glycine betaine. The platform enabled site‐selective and enantioselective methylation with turnover number up to 6000, representing the first enantioselective non‐native catalysis by cobamide ...

Effects of betaine on lipopolysaccharide-induced memory impairment in mice and the involvement of GABA transporter 2

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2011
Background Betaine (glycine betaine or trimethylglycine) plays important roles as an osmolyte and a methyl donor in animals. While betaine is reported to suppress expression of proinflammatory molecules and reduce oxidative stress in aged rat kidney, the
