Betaine—The dark knight of the brain
AbstractThe role of betaine in the liver and kidney has been well documented, even from the cellular and molecular point of view. Despite literature reporting positive effects of betaine supplementation in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and schizophrenia, the role and function of betaine in the brain are little studied and reviewed.

Effect of Aminopterin on Choline, Betaine Aldehyde, and Betaine Metabolism.
Summary1. The effects of dietary amino-pterin upon the aerobic and anaerobic metabolism of choline, betaine aldehyde, and betaine have been investigated. 2. Oxidation of choline and betaine aldehyde, anaerobic conversion of betaine aldehyde to betaine, and both aerobic and anaerobic transmethylation to homocysteine are decreased significantly by ...

Impact of dietary changes on hepatic homocysteine metabolism in young broilers [PDF]
Information regarding the impact of sulfur amino acids (SAA) on hepatic homocysteine (Hcy) flux through the various metabolic pathways competing for Hcy in young broilers is lacking. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of varying levels of

Functional Characterization of Betaine/Proline Transporters in Betaine-accumulating Mangrove [PDF]
Betaine is an important osmoprotectant in many plants, but its transport activity has only been demonstrated using a proline transporter from tomato, a betaine-nonaccumulating plant. In this study, two full-length and one partial transporter genes were isolated from betaine-accumulating mangrove Avicennia marina.
