Possible Interaction: Ethanol and Betaine

supplement:

Ethanol

supplement:

Betaine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

The basic observation is that betaine added to ethanol being ingested increases the elimination rate of blood alcohol, which prevents the blood alcohol levels (BALs) from reaching high levels.

It is proposed that betaine , instead of merely being a metabolic by-product of choline oxidation, may serve as an important methylating agent when normal methylating pathways are impaired by ethanol ingestion, drugs or nutritional imbalances.

Betaine decreases the induction of Brf1 expression and Pol III gene transcription caused by ethanol to reduce the rates of cell growth and colony formation.
Our results indicate that alcohol increases the rates of growth and colony formation of breast cancer cells, whereas betaine is able to significantly inhibit the effects of alcohol on these cell phenotypes.

All these detrimental effects of ethanol and tubercidin were attenuated by co-treatment with betaine.

Supplement of 50 μg/ml betaine into culture medium can effectively reduce the level of ROS caused by ethanol in embryo cells and rescue embryo development at each stage damaged by ethanol, but supplement of glycine can’t rescue embryo development as does betaine.

Here, we investigated whether betaine could prevent adverse effects of alcohol on heart development.

Morphometric examination showed that the mean diameter of apoptotic cells was increased with ethanol administration while this increase was reduced by betaine and betaine + folic acid treatments.
While ethanol increased the number of apoptotic cells, this increase was prevented in ethanol + betaine and ethanol + betaine + folic acid groups.

All aforementioned effects of ethanol were attenuated by in vivo feeding of mice with the pro-methylating agent, betaine , which exhibits strong anti-oxidant properties.

ConclusionWe found that pre- and postnatal ethanol exposure is capable of triggering necrotic cell death in rat brains, omega-3, and betaine reduce neurodegeneration.
