betaine and Ascorbic Acid Deficiency

betaine has been researched along with Ascorbic Acid Deficiency in 3 studies

glycine betaine : The amino acid betaine derived from glycine.

Ascorbic Acid Deficiency: A condition due to a dietary deficiency of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), characterized by malaise, lethargy, and weakness. As the disease progresses, joints, muscles, and subcutaneous tissues may become the sites of hemorrhage. Ascorbic acid deficiency frequently develops into SCURVY in young children fed unsupplemented cow's milk exclusively during their first year. It develops also commonly in chronic alcoholism. (Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1177)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Experimental vitamin C deficiency in guinea pigs is associated with low carnitine concentrations in blood and some tissues."1.29The ability of guinea pigs to synthesize carnitine at a normal rate from epsilon-N-trimethyllysine or gamma-butyrobetaine in vivo is not compromised by experimental vitamin C deficiency. ( Rebouche, CJ, 1995)
