Accumulation of Betaine in the Developing Mouse Oocyte Requires Choline Dehydrogenase
In the developing mouse oocyte, as well as in the preimplantation embryo, betaine (N,N,N-trimethylglycine) plays an important role first as a mechanism for cell volume regulation and second as a major methyl donor.
