Effects of Betaine Intake on Plasma Homocysteine Concentrations and Consequences for Health
, 2005 High plasma concentrations of homocysteine may increase risk of cardiovascular disease. Folic acid lowers plasma homocysteine by 25% maximally, because 5-methyltetrahydrofolate is a methyl donor in the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Betaine

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vascular dementia (VaD), accounting for up to 20% of dementia cases globally, is primarily driven by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), which leads to progressive cognitive impairment. Despite the increasing prevalence of VaD, effective treatments remain limited.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis in the inflammatory pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy
VIEW, EarlyView.This graphical abstract illustrates how gut dysbiosis drives diabetic retinopathy through the gut‐retina axis, a process unfolding in three interconnected stages. First, in the gut, a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in pro‐inflammatory taxa compromise the intestinal barrier, causing a “leaky gut” that allows LPS to translocate into the ...

X-ray structure of the Na+-coupled Glycine-Betaine symporter BetP from Corynebacterium glutamicum [PDF]
, 2009 Cellular membranes are important sites of interaction between cells and their environment. Among the multitude of macromolecular complexes embedded in these membranes, transporters play a particularly important role.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.As a metabolically versatile organ, the heart is capable of generating energy from a wide range of substrates. Although fatty acid and glucose metabolism in the heart have been extensively studied, the contribution of amino acid metabolism to cardiac physiology and disease is gaining increasing attention.

Betaine Lipids in Lower Plants. Biosynthesis of DGTS and DGTA in Ochromonas danica (Chrysophyceae) and the Possible Role of DGTS in Lipid Metabolism [PDF]
, 2017 Membrane lipids and fatty acids of Ochromonas danica were analyzed. Of the two betaine lipids, the homoserine lipid DGTS mainly contains 14:0 and 18:2 fatty acids, while the alanine lipid DGTA is enriched in 18:0, 18:2 and 22:5 fatty acids.

Comparing effects of natural betaine and betaine hydrochloride on gut physiology in broiler chickens
, 2022 Betaine is a well-known component of poultry diets with various effects on nutritional physiology. For example, increased water retention due to the osmolytic effect of betaine increases the volume of the cell, thereby accelerating the anabolic activity,

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.A 28‐day clinical study in 41 individuals with oily dandruff showed that a piroctone olamine shampoo improved clinical symptoms while selectively reshaping the scalp bacterial and fungal microbiome toward a less dysbiotic profile. Abstract Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a piroctone olamine–containing shampoo in individuals with oily ...
