OBJECTIVES: To reconcile observing a positive correlation of betaine excretion with homocysteine in lipid disorder patients but not other study groups. DESIGN AND METHODS: Correlations were estimated in subgroups of a control group and the lipid disorder patients. RESULTS: Plasma non high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol differed (p<0.0001) between the groups. The correlation increased with the median plasma non-HDL cholesterol in subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: This correlation is associated with patients with elevated plasma lipids.
