“Addition of inositol and/or betaine to the medium greatly increases GPC :PDE activity in cells in isosmotic or high-NaCl media, but the increase is much less in high-urea medium.”
“Collectively, these data support the conclusion that betaine and/or inositol reduces GPC by increasing GPC degradation catalyzed by GPC:PDE.”
“We find that MDCK cell GPC content decreases when the cells take up betaine and/or inositol from the medium.”
