Figure 4 Betaine stimulates the phosphorylation of p42/44 MAPK in primary rat hepatocytes. A: Time-dependent activation of p42/44 MAPK by 10-3 mol/L betaine, B: Dose-dependent activation of p42/44 MAPK by betaine for 300 min (left panel). Treatment with betaine following pretreatment with PD98059 for 10 min (right panel), C: Betaine-stimulated recovery of p42/44 MAPK activation in ethanol-treated cells.
