betaine and Choline Deficiency

betaine has been researched along with Choline Deficiency in 27 studies

glycine betaine : The amino acid betaine derived from glycine.

Choline Deficiency: A condition produced by a deficiency of CHOLINE in animals. Choline is known as a lipotropic agent because it has been shown to promote the transport of excess fat from the liver under certain conditions in laboratory animals. Combined deficiency of choline (included in the B vitamin complex) and all other methyl group donors causes liver cirrhosis in some animals. Unlike compounds normally considered as vitamins, choline does not serve as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions. (From Saunders Dictionary & Encyclopedia of Laboratory Medicine and Technology, 1984)

"We examined the effects of betaine, an endogenous and dietary methyl donor essential for the methionine-homocysteine cycle, on oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy in methionine-choline deficient diet (MCD)-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)."7.91Betaine modulates oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, and Akt/mTOR signaling in methionine-choline deficiency-induced fatty liver disease.

( Han, F; Huang, Z; Liu, Y; Lu, J; Sugiyama, K; Sun, L; Wang, Q, 2015)
"The effect of betaine status on folate deficiency-induced hyperhomocysteinemia was investigated to determine whether folate deficiency impairs homocysteine removal not only by the methionine synthase (MS) pathway but also by the betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase (BHMT) pathway."7.78Effects of betaine supplementation and choline deficiency on folate deficiency-induced hyperhomocysteinemia in rats. ( Liu, Y; Liu, YQ; Morita, T; Sugiyama, K, 2012)

"The purpose of the present experiments was to test the hypothesis that diethanolamine (DEA), an alkanolamine shown to be hepatocarcinogenic in mice, induces hepatic choline deficiency and to determine whether altered choline homeostasis was causally related to the carcinogenic outcome."7.71Diethanolamine induces hepatic choline deficiency in mice. ( Gamsky, EA; Hicks, SM; Lehman-McKeeman, LD; Mar, MH; Vassallo, JD; Zeisel, SH, 2002)
