betaine and Metabolic Syndrome

betaine has been researched along with Metabolic Syndrome in 13 studies

glycine betaine : The amino acid betaine derived from glycine.

Metabolic Syndrome: A cluster of symptoms that are risk factors for CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES and TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS. The major components of metabolic syndrome include ABDOMINAL OBESITY; atherogenic DYSLIPIDEMIA; HYPERTENSION; HYPERGLYCEMIA; INSULIN RESISTANCE; a proinflammatory state; and a prothrombotic (THROMBOSIS) state.

Trial Outcomes

Insulin Sensitivity (Si)

Peripheral insulin sensitivity was assessed by FSIGT. A glucose dose of 300 mg/kg body weight was given intravenously followed by a bolus of 0.03 U/kg of insulin injected after 20 min. Blood samples were frequently collected for 3 h for the measurement of plasma glucose and serum insulin concentrations, utilized to calculate the insulin sensitivity index Si (NCT00945854)
Timeframe: 12 weeks

Postprandial Insulin Changes

Blood samples during the standard meal test were drawn from an antecubital vein after a 12 h overnight fast and 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min postprandial for the measurement of plasma insulin response reported as average mean postprandial increment. (NCT00945854)
