"These chemicals are potent inhibitors of an enzyme called betaine-homocysteine-S-methyltransferase (BHMT)," said Garrow. "BHMT catalyzes a reaction that converts homocysteine to methionine.

We have found that the methionine metabolism enzyme betaine homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT) is expressed in both rodent and human brain in the cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum and is ...

“This conversion happens thanks to an enzyme known as betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BMHT). We found that choline supplementation increased the production of BMHT in two generations of ...

A total of 25 liver proteins, including S-adenosyl methionine synthetase, betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase, Hsp90 and protein disulfide isomerase, were found to be S-nitrosated in BDL rats.

Betaine is used by patients with homocystinuria, a rare genetic condition where too much homocysteine builds up in the body.

In turn, the process automatically lowers homocysteine levels, reducing heart-disease risk. Order a Greek omelet for breakfast: Eggs are the best source of choline, and spinach is packed with betaine.

May 18, 2004 — Elevated homocysteine is associated with levodopa and is proportional to peripheral neuronal dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD), according to the results of a study published ...
