Stability of Betaine Capsules [PDF]
ISRN Pharmaceutics, 2013 Betaine is used to treat homocystinuria and is not available in Canada as a formulated drug. In order to facilitate the administration of this compound to patients, a capsule formulation and an evaluation of its stability were required. Capsule formulations of betaine were developed (160 mg and 625 mg of betaine per capsule).

The betaine/GABA transporter and betaine: roles in brain, kidney, and liver [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 The physiological roles of the betaine/GABA transporter (BGT1; slc6a12) are still being debated. BGT1 is a member of the solute carrier family 6 (the neurotransmitter, sodium symporter transporter family) and mediates cellular uptake of betaine and GABA in a sodium- and chloride-dependent process.

Betaine aldehyde, betaine, and choline levels in rat liver during ethanol metabolism
, 2000 Betaine aldehyde levels were determined in rat livers following 4 weeks of ethanol feeding, employing the Lieber-De Carli liquid diet. The results showed that the levels of betaine aldehyde are unaffected by alcohol feeding to rats.
