male Wistar rats weighing 180-200 g. 30-40% less phosphatidylcholine is generated in hepatocytes from ethanol-fed rats as compared to controls. Hepatocytes isolated from rats fed the betaine-supplemented ethanol diet have significantly higher phosphatidylcholine generation compared to hepatocytes from ethanol-fed rats.

2.1.1.17 additional information
-
there is a significant positive linear relationship between phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase activity and S-adenosylmethionine:S-adenosylhomocysteine ratio (r = 0.45). There is a significant inverse relationship between phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase activity and triglycerids. The metabolic conversion of radiolabeled phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine over 3 h incubation period is taken as a measure of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase.

2.1.1.17 additional information the total hepatic S-adenosylmethionine levels remain unchanged by ethanol consumption for 4 weeks Rattus norvegicus additional information S-adenosylhomocysteine levels increase by ethanol consumption for 4 weeks. The S-adenosylmethionine:S-adenosylhomocysteine ratios are significantly lower in ethanol fed rats. Supplementation of betaine in the ethanol diet increases the hepatocellular S-adenosylmethionine:S-adenosylhomocysteine ratios to values that are statistically similar to those from rats fed the regular control diet. There is an significant inverse relationship between triglycerids and S-adenosylmethionine:S-adenosylhomocysteine ratio (r = - 0.36). ?
