Betaine Transport in Kidney and Liver: Use of Betaine in Liver Injury [PDF]

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, is an important human nutrient obtained from a variety of foods and also can be synthesized from choline. Betaine is much more abundant in kidney and liver compared to other mammalian organs. The principal role of betaine in the kidney is osmoprotection in cells of the medulla and it enters these cells via the ...

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

The association of serum betaine concentrations with the risk of new-onset cancers: results from two independent nested case-control studies

Nutrition & Metabolism, 2023
Evidence from epidemiologic studies on the association of circulating betaine levels with the incident risk of cancer has been inconsistent. We aimed to investigate the prospective association of serum betaine concentrations with the risk of cancer.

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 ...

Higher Dietary Choline and Betaine Intakes Are Associated with Better Body Composition in the Adult Population of Newfoundland, Canada. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
BACKGROUND:Choline is an essential nutrient and betaine is an osmolyte and methyl donor. Both are important to maintain health including adequate lipid metabolism. Supplementation of dietary choline and betaine increase muscle mass and reduce body fat in
