The effects of dietary betaine on performance, blood compositions, hepatic amino acid concentrations and hormonal secretions were examined in laying hens. Egg production was significantly higher in birds fed the 16.5 % protein diet compared to those fed 14.5 % protein diet(p<0.05), whereas dietary supplementation of betaine did not show any significant effect. The high level of protein and betaine supplementation significantly improved egg weight, egg mass and feed conversion(p<0.05), while eggshell breaking strength, eggshell thickness and Haugh unit were not influenced by betaine and dietary protein levels. Supplemental betaine did not affect serum total protein, albumin and BUN concentration. However, uric acid concentration significantly increased in 600 ppm betaine-fed groups(p<0.05). Concentrations of most hepatic amino acid were influenced by increased protein feeding and dietary betaine supplementation. Hormone studies recorded significantly higher serum and hepatocyte IGF-I concentration in 600 and 1,200 ppm betaine treatments(p<0.05) compared to those of control group. IGF-I mRNA gene expression of hepatocytes revealed statistically correlated increase in 600 and 1,200 ppm betaine-fed groups compared to the controls(p<0.05). Serum IGFBP-3 concentration was significantly elevated in 600 ppm betaine treatments. However, the secretion of IGFBP-1 in hepatocyte of laying hens fed with 600 and 1,200 ppm of betaine showed a significant decrease compared to the control group(p<0.05). Results of these study show that dietary betaine supplementation affects protein and hormone metabolism in laying hens.

This study investigated the pharmacodynamics of betaine on the blood profile and short chain fatty acid levels in meat ducks exposed to heat wave. 400 heads of Cherry valley (Anasplatyrhynchos) meat ducks were completely randomized to 5 treatments (4 repetitions each), and were raised for 42 days. They were grouped into T1 (heat wave control group without betaine), T2 (betaine 400 ppm), T3 (betaine 800 ppm), T4 (betaine 1200 ppm), and T5 (normal control group without betaine). Compared to T1, the betaine addition groups showed higher body weight gain at shipment, with T3 showing the highest significant difference. For hematological indictors measured (red blood cells and platelets), the betaine addition groups showed significantly higher values than the heat wave control group. The pH of the former was lower but their electrolytes ($K^+$, $P^+$, and $Cl^-$) were significantly higher compared to the latter. For blood gas concentration, the former showed a significantly higher value than the latter. For the total short chain fatty acids, acetic acid, and propionic acid, the betaine addition groups and group fed broiler-high temperature diet showed higher values than the heat wave control group. On the other hand, the former showed significantly lower values in butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, and isovaleric acid than the latter group. These results suggest that betaine has the pharmacodynamics that mediate heat stress, via the maintenance and control of the blood profile, osmotic pressure, gas concentration, and short chain fatty acid, of meat ducks under heat wave.

The neuroprotective effect of betaine, one of the , components of Lycii Fructus, on glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in primary cultured chicken brain cells were examined. Betaine was found to attenuate glutamate-induced neurotoxicity at the concentration of 5-10 mM in both morphological and chemical aspects. The pretreament of chicken brain cells with 5-10 mM betaine for 2 hr at the 12th day of culture before the 40 min-exposure to 500${\mu}$M glutamate significantly increased the survival rate of nerve cells in chicken brain. Betaine could also raise the decreased LDH-level due to the neurotoxicity induced with 100${\mu}$M glutamate in chicken braill cells. LDH value was decreased to 63％ of control level in chicken brain cells at the time of 48 hr after the exposure to glutamate. However, the pretreament of chicken brain cells with 5 mM betaine for 2 hr before the exposure to glutamate could prevent the decrease of LDH-level in brain cells showing 90％ of control level. Nevertheless, tile remarkable neuroprotective effect of betaine on the glutamate-inducer in neurotoxicity in cultured chicken brain cells could not be observe when betaine was simultaneously administered with glutamate.

In our previous study, we investigated Chenopodium album Linne (CAL) ethanol extract and its fractions on anti-gastritic actions using the HCl/ethanol and indomethacin induced gastric lesion model and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Based on the results, butanol fraction was most effective among fractions obtained from CAL. This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms of butanol fraction, and betaine as a constituent of the butanol fraction, on gastritis and anti-gastric cancer cell growth. First, we examined antioxidant properties using hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radical, and we found that butanol fraction and betaine may be good antioxidants. Second, cytotoxicity was assessed by measuring cell viability and 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylinodole dihydrochloride (DAPI) staining of human gastric cancer cells (AGS cells). We also examined the relationship between the cytotoxicity and intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ signaling mechanism. The butanol fraction demonstrated cell viability 71.49% at the concentration of 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ and increased intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in a dose dependent manner. Finally, we observed the mucus content as a defensive factor and gastric secretion as an aggressive factor, and found that the mucus content noticeably increased when treated with butanol fraction and betaine and gastric secretion decreased when treated with betaine in vivo study. From these results, we suggest that CAL butanol fraction and betaine may have protective effects on gastritis.

The neuroprotective effect of betaine, one of the components of Lycii Fructus, on glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in primary cultured chicken brain cells were examined. Betaine was found to attenuate glutamate-induced neurotoxicity at the concentration of $5{\sim}10{\;}mM$ in both morphological and chemical aspects. The pretreatment of chicken brain cells with $5{\sim}10{\;}mM$betaine for 2hr at the 12 th day of culture before the 40min-exposure to $500\;{\mu}M$ glutamate significantly increased the survival rate of nerve cells in chicken brain. Betaine could also raise the decreased LDH-level in chicken brain cells which were induced neurotoxicity with $100\;{\mu}M$ glutamate. LDH value was decreased to 63% of control level in chicken brain cells at the time of 48 hr after the exposure to glutamate. However, the pretreatment of chicken brain cells with 5 mM betaine for 2 hr before the exposure to glutamate prevent the decrease of LDH in cells showing 90% of control level. Nevertheless, the remarkable neuroprotective effect of betaine on the glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in cultured chicken brain cells could not be observed when betaine was simultaneously administrated with glutamate.

The effects of carbohydrates, hormones and elicitors on both cell growth and betaine production were investigated in the cell cultures of Lycium chinense Mill. The maximum effect of glucose and sucrose was observed in cells cultured in the presence of 3% and 7% for cell growth and betaine production, respectively. The effect of hormones on cell growth and betaine production was prominent in the presence of 10 ${\mu}$M 2, 4-D, 10 ${\mu}$M NAA and 2.5 ${\mu}$M IAA, whereas cell growth and betaine production were excellent at 2.5 ${\mu}$M BA and 10 ${\mu}$M BA, respectively. Abiotic elicitors such as KCI, MnCl2 and NaCl exhibited an inhibitory role on cell growth in all treatment groups. Betaine production was increased according to increase of concentration of abiotic elicitors. methanol-soluble and insoluble components as biotic elicitor remarkably inhibited cell growth from 2 mg and 6 mg, respectively. Betaine production was increased maximally at 2 mg of biotic elicitors. When growth medium was switched to production medium at two stage culture, it resulted that cell fresh weight and dry weight decreased but betaine content increased about 2.2-fold.

This study was carried out to compare the growth performance and quality properties of pork from finishing pigs fed different levels of betaine. A total 120 female pigs (Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire${\times}$Duroc) were fed either a control commercial diet or the control diet supplemented with 2, 4 and 6% betaine for 31 days. The average daily feed intake (ADFI) of the 2% diet was lower than of the other treatment groups. The average daily gain (ADG) for pigs fed betaine diets was significantly higher (p<0.05) compared with nonsupplemented diets. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) of pigs fed betaine diets was significantly lower (p<0.05) compared with nonsupplemented diets. pH of loin and ham samples were not significantly different between dietary groups, whereas CIE a* (redness) of pork loin was increased by dietary betaine. Also, the shear force value of loin was significantly higher (p<0.05) in pigs given dietary betaine compared with non-supplemented diets, but no significant differences were found in cooking loss by the loin among diets with different levels of betaine (p>0.05). Dietary supplementation with betaine decreased total cholesterol concentrations in blood, and increased saturated fatty acid and decreased unsaturated fatty acid levels in muscle. Pigs supplemented with betaine had increased betaine concentrations in the loin muscle. It was concluded that dietary betaine supplementation of finishing pigs can improve growth performance and reduce blood cholesterol concentrations. It was also concluded that dietary betaine produced detectable betaine concentrations in the lion muscle.

고염분으로 삼투압 스트레스를 받은 Yersinia enterocolitica ATCC 9610 세포내에 축적되는 osmolyte를 $^{13}C$ NMR을 통해 조사하였다. 자연계에 흔히 존재하는 가장 강력한 osmolyte로 알려진 glycine betaine의 삼투압 스트레스를 받은 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610 세포내 농도 (801.9 nmol/mg protein)는 삼투압 스트레스를 받지 않은 세포 (19.2 nmol/mg protein) 보다 41.8배 많이 검출되어 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610의 가장 주요한 osmolyte로 작용하였다. Proline도 284.8 nmol/mg protein의 농도로 검출되어 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610의 osmolyte로 작용하였다. Glycine betaine을 비롯한 각종 osmolyte가 삼투압 스트레스를 받은 Y. enterocolitica 세포성장에 미치는 역할을 검증하기 위해 Y. enterocolitica의 성장속도에 미치는 이들의 영향을 조사하였다. 2.5%의 NaCl이 첨가된 MMA 배지에 glycine betaine과 proline을 각각 첨가했을때, 1mM glycine betaine의 경우 osmolyte를 첨가하지 않은 대조구에 비해 성장속도가 3.6배 증가하였으며 5mM proline의 경우는 1.3배 증가하였다. Dimethylglycine도 2.5%의 NaCl을 첨가한 MMA 배지에 5mM의 농도로 첨가하였을때 대조구에 비해 성장속도가 3.1배 증가하였는데, monomethylglycine은 삼투압 스트레스를 받은 Y. enterocolitica의 성장에 어떤 영향도 미치지 못하였다. Carnitine은 2.5%의 NaCl이 첨가된 MMA 배지에 5mM의 농도로 첨가되었을때 대조구에 비해 2.4배 성장속도가 증가하였으며 choline은 성장에 어떤 영향도 미치지 못하였다. 이상의 결과로 glycine betaine은 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610의 가장 주요한 osmolyte로 작용하며, proline, dimethyglyine 그리고 carnitine도 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610의 osmolyte로 작용하여 삼투압 스트레스를 받은 Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610의 성장속도를 증가시켰다.

높은 염분 농도에서 glycine betaine은 Bacillus subtilis 안으로 유입되어 세포 생장이 지속될 수 있게 한다. 뿐만 아니라 최근 연구 결과에 따르면 저온에서도 glycine betaine이 세포 생장을 지속시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저온에서 Bacillus subtilis의 생장을 저해시키는 세포 대사 활동으로는 세포막 운송과 단백질 합성을 들 수 있다. 세포막 구조와 관련하여 저온에서 세포막 운송에 영향을 주는 유전자들로는 bkdR과 des가 있고, 단백질 합성 과정에서 RNA helicase 유전자인 ydbR과 yqfR들은 저온 민감성을 보인다. 따라서 Bacillus subtilis 저온 민감성 유전자 결손 세포들에 대한 glycine betaine의 효과를 조사하여 저온에서의 glycine betaine 생리적 기능에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 이 결과 glycine betaine의 존재 유무에 따라 야생형 Bacillus subtilis와 ydbR과 yqfR 결손 균주의 저온생장에 큰 차이를 보였다($T_d$차이 190~686 min). 반면에 bkdR이나 des 결손균주의 경우에는 glycine betaine 존재 유무에 따라 차이를 보이지 않았다. Glycine betaine의 전구체인 choline으로 대치하여도 저온에서의 생장은 같은 결과를 보였다. Glycine betaine의 영향이 세포막 구조와 관련이 있는 유전자 bkdR과 des 결손균주에 미치는 영향이 적은 것을 알아보기 위해 세포막에 영향을 주는 세제의 효과를 조사하였다. Triton X-100과 N-lauryl sarcosine 세제에 의해 bkdR 결손 균주가 야생형에 비해 더 영향 받는 것을 확인하였고 이는 bkdR 결손이 저온에서 막 구조를 변형하여 glycine betaine의 투과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다.
