betaine and Brain Edema

betaine has been researched along with Brain Edema in 3 studies

glycine betaine : The amino acid betaine derived from glycine.

Brain Edema: Increased intracellular or extracellular fluid in brain tissue. Cytotoxic brain edema (swelling due to increased intracellular fluid) is indicative of a disturbance in cell metabolism, and is commonly associated with hypoxic or ischemic injuries (see HYPOXIA, BRAIN). An increase in extracellular fluid may be caused by increased brain capillary permeability (vasogenic edema), an osmotic gradient, local blockages in interstitial fluid pathways, or by obstruction of CSF flow (e.g., obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS). (From Childs Nerv Syst 1992 Sep; 8(6):301-6)

Trial Outcomes

Urinary Oxalate Excretion

"The patients were randomly assigned oral betaine or placebo for 2 months, followed by a 2 month washout. Each patient then received the alternate study medication for 2 months.~Urinary Oxalate Excretion was measured by oxalate oxidase. Two 24 hour urine collections were obtained at baseline, and during the eighth week of each study period." (NCT00283387)
