Plasma free choline, betaine and cognitive performance: the Hordaland Health Study

Design: With data and samples from a prospective study (n ҃ 404 maternal-child pairs), serum concentrations of free and total choline were measured in maternal serum at 4

showed a positive relation to serum triglycerides, glucose, BMI, body fat, and waist circumference, whereas plasma betaine was inversely related to these factors in addition to

Conclusion: In this population of middle-aged and elderly men and women, recruited from an area with relatively low folate intake, neither plasma choline nor betaine was

A n increased risk of ischemic heart disease has been observed in patients with elevated blood choline, 1 plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), 2 and betaine 3 levels, although

In the current prospective cohort study, we found that lower plasma concentrations of betaine and higher uri- nary concentrations of several metabolites downstream in the

The aim of this nested case-control study from the Northern Sweden Health and Disease Cohort (NSHDC) was to investigate plasma concentrations of betaine, choline,

Choline or betaine supplementation in humans reduces concentration of total homocysteine (tHcy), and plasma betaine is a strong predictor of plasma tHcy in individuals with low

In conclusion, the postprandial effect on all of the metab- olites, the pronounced in vitro formation of choline but not betaine and DMG, and the lower choline concentra- tion in
