Betaine Attenuates Cuprizone-Induced Cortical Demyelination: The Role of the WNT4/mTOR Signalling Pathway in Regulating Astrogliosis and Synaptic Integrity. [PDF]

J Biochem Mol Toxicol
Betaine helps to restore the dysfunctional communication between oxidative stress and inflammation, and it also improves demyelination in cuprizone‐induced demyelinating disease within the cerebral cortex. ABSTRACT Cortical grey matter pathology manifests early demyelinating diseases and is a primary driver of permanent neurological impairment.

Dietary betaine improves egg-laying rate in hens through hypomethylation and glucocorticoid receptor–mediated activation of hepatic lipogenesis-related genes

Poultry Science, 2020
In avian species, liver lipid metabolism plays an important role in egg laying performance. Previous studies indicate that betaine supplementation in laying hens improves egg production.

Site-Specific Lipidomic Signatures of Sea Lettuce (Ulva spp., Chlorophyta) Hold the Potential to Trace Their Geographic Origin

Biomolecules, 2020
The wild harvest and aquaculture of Ulva spp. has deserved growing attention in Europe. However, the impact of geographical origin on the biochemical composition of different species and/or strains is yet to be described in detail.

DNA methylation potential: dietary intake and blood concentrations of one-carbon metabolites and cofactors in rural African women. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Animal models show that periconceptional supplementation with folic acid, vitamin B-12, choline, and betaine can induce differences in offspring phenotype mediated by epigenetic changes in DNA. In humans, altered DNA methylation patterns have

Oral Recombinant Human Collagen III Protects Gastric Mucosa via G‐Quadruplex‐Mediated Activation of the Pla2g4a‐Prostaglandin Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Orally administered recombinant human type III collagen protects the gastric mucosa from ethanol‐induced injury by coordinating redox homeostasis, epithelial barrier repair, and arachidonic acid–prostaglandin metabolism. Gastric digestion releases the pentapeptide GPAEF, which interacts with the Pla2g4a promoter G‐quadruplex in a structure‐dependent ...
