Association Between Inflammation and Homocysteine Levels?
Researchers have found that people who consume higher amounts of choline and its metabolite betaine have lower levels of inflammation and lower levels of homocysteine. Inflammation was measured by C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha; homocysteine is an amino acid implicated in heart disease.
The researchers concluded, “Our results support an association between choline and betaine intakes and the inflammation process in free-eating and apparently healthy adults.”
