dimethylglycine and Homocystinuria

dimethylglycine has been researched along with Homocystinuria in 4 studies

dimethylglycine: metabolic product of calcium pangamate; mutagen when mixed with nitrite; RN given refers to parent cpd
N,N-dimethylglycine : An N-methylglycine that is glycine carrying two N-methyl substituents.

Homocystinuria: Autosomal recessive inborn error of methionine metabolism usually caused by a deficiency of CYSTATHIONINE BETA-SYNTHASE and associated with elevations of homocysteine in plasma and urine. Clinical features include a tall slender habitus, SCOLIOSIS, arachnodactyly, MUSCLE WEAKNESS, genu varus, thin blond hair, malar flush, lens dislocations, an increased incidence of MENTAL RETARDATION, and a tendency to develop fibrosis of arteries, frequently complicated by CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENTS and MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p979)

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)
