Conjugated linoleic acid and betaine affect lipolysis in pig adipose tissue explants

, 2019
Consumers' demand of leaner meat products is a challenge. Although betaine and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) have the potential to decrease porcine adipose tissue, their mode of action is poorly understood.

Osmoprotectants in Halomonas elongata: High-affinity betaine transport system and choline-betaine pathway [PDF]

, 1996
The osmoregulatory pathways of the moderately halophilic bacterium Halomonas elongata DSM 3043 have been investigated. This strain grew optimally at 1.5 to 2 M NaCl in M63 glucose-defined medium.

Glycine Betaine Recognition through Cation−π Interactions in Crystal Structures of Glycine Betaine Complexes with C-Ethyl-pyrogallol[4]arene and C-Ethyl-resorcin[4]arene as Receptors

Crystals, 2013
The glycine betaine (betaine), interacts with several types of proteins with diverse structures in vivo, and in the contact regions, the aromatic rings of protein residues are frequently found beside the trimethylammonium group of betaine, implying the ...

Betaine distribution in the Malvaceae

Phytochemistry, 2001
Aerial parts of 26 taxa, distributed in 18 genera and all 5 tribes of the Malvaceae have been examined for the presence of betaines. Glycinebetaine was obtained in high yield (0.5-4.6%, dry weight) from all the plants studied, except Abelmoschus moschatus, in extracts of which glycinebetaine was not detected.

The association between plasma betaine level and brain structural changes in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia
Previous studies on metabolic profiling have shown decreased plasma levels of betaine in schizophrenia. Betaine serves as a substrate of betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase, which converts homocysteine to methionine.

Hypertensive rats show increased renal excretion and decreased tissue concentrations of glycine betaine, a protective osmolyte with diuretic properties.

PLoS ONE
Hypertension leads to water-electrolyte disturbances and end-organ damage. Betaine is an osmolyte protecting cells against electrolyte imbalance and osmotic stress, particularly in the kidneys.

Effect of Aminopterin on Choline, Betaine Aldehyde, and Betaine Metabolism.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1951
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 ...

Betaine metabolism.

, 2013
Metabolic pathways involving betaine. BHMT: betaine homocysteine methyltransferase, a zinc metalloenzyme abundant in human liver and kidney tissues. SAM: S-adenosylmethionine, ubiquitous methyl-group donor in human metabolism.
