Description

• Application: Assessment between antiseptic and normal saline for negative pressure wound therapy with instillation and dwell time in diabetic foot infections.: Betaine is evaluated for its antimicrobial properties in a clinical setting, comparing its effectiveness with standard treatments for enhancing wound healing and preventing infection in diabetic foot ulcers. This study contributes to the optimization of therapeutic strategies for chronic wounds (Zhao J et al., 2024). [Clinical features and follow-up study on 55 patients with adolescence-onset methylmalonic acidemia].: This research includes betaine in the treatment protocols for patients with methylmalonic acidemia, analyzing its effectiveness in reducing symptoms and improving metabolic profiles. The study provides valuable insights into the management of this rare metabolic disorder (Ma X et al., 2024).
• Biochem/physiol Actions: End-product of oxidative metabolism of choline, betaine is a general methyl donor, in particular in a minor pathway of methionine biosynthesis. It is used to treat homocystinuria, which is a defect in the major pathway of methionine biosynthesis.[1]
