Abstract Glycine betaine (N, N, N-trimethyl amine) is an osmolyte accumulated in cells that is
key for cell volume and turgor regulation, is the principal methyl donor in the methionine …

For many years, glycine betaine (GB) has been widely studied as an osmolyte in plants and
bacteria. In animal cells, GB is an osmolyte mainly in the kidneys, but in humans many …

Betaine is known as trimethylglycine and is widely distributed in animals, plants, and
microorganisms. Betaine is known to function physiologically as an important …

Osmolytes are naturally occurring small molecular weight organic molecules, which are
accumulated in large amounts in all forms of life in order to maintain the stability of cellular …

Simple Summary A large number of studies report that medicinal herbs and many food
ingredients protect against the development of liver disease because they possess …

The role of betaine in the liver and kidney has been well documented, even from the cellular
and molecular point of view. Despite literature reporting positive effects of betaine …

Background: Glycine betaine is important in cell volume regulation and in remethylating
homocysteine, a vascular risk factor. Objective: We investigated changes in circulating …

In the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the deposition of amyloid β protein (Aβ)
is associated with oxidative stress, leading to cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration …

Glycine is the proteinogenic amino-acid of lowest molecular weight, harboring a hydrogen
atom as a side-chain. In addition to being a building-block for proteins, glycine is also …

Glycine is most important and simple, nonessential amino acid in humans, animals, and
many mammals. Generally, glycine is synthesized from choline, serine, hydroxyproline, and …
