Betaineni ubwoko bw'inyongeramusaruro idakoresha intungamubiri. Ni ikintu cyakozwe mu buryo bw'ubukorano cyangwa gikurwamo hashingiwe ku bice by'imiti biri mu nyamaswa n'ibimera bikunzwe cyane by'inyamaswa zo mu mazi. Ibintu bikurura ibiribwa akenshi bigizwe n'ubwoko burenze bubiri bw'ibinyabutabire. Ibi bintu bigira ingaruka nziza ku kugaburira inyamaswa zo mu mazi. Binyuze mu gukangura impumuro, uburyohe n'icyerekezo by'inyamaswa zo mu mazi, bishobora guteranira hafi y'ibiryo, kwihutisha kugaburira, no kongera ibyo kurya.

Igihe cyo kugaburira Macrobrachium rosenbergii cyagabanijweho 1/3 ~ 1/2 kandi ingano yo kugaburira yongerewehobetaineku biryo by'isambaza. Indyo irimobetaineIfite ingaruka zigaragara zo gukurura amafunguro kuri carp na mud carp, ariko nta ngaruka zigaragara zo gukurura amafunguro kuri carp y'ibyatsi. Betaine ishobora kandi kongera uburyohe bw'izindi aside amine ku mafi no kongera gukurura aside amine. Betaine ifite inshingano zo kongera ubushake bwo kurya, kongera ubudahangarwa bw'indwara no kudakora neza. Isambaza zirwaye zirwanya imiti kandi zigakemura ikibazo cyo kugabanuka kw'ibiryo by'amafi na shrimp mu gihe cy'imihangayiko.

Choline ni intungamubiri y'ingenzi mu nyamaswa. Ishobora gutanga methyl ku mubiri mu mubiri, bityo ikagira uruhare mu mikorere y'ingufu. Mu myaka ya vuba aha, ubushakashatsi bwagaragaje ko betaine ishobora no gutanga methyl ku mubiri. Ubushobozi bwa betaine mu gutanga methyl bungana inshuro 2.3 ugereranyije n'ubwa choline chloride, kandi ni umutanga methyl mwiza kurushaho. Ubwo betaine yakoreshwaga mu gusimbuza choline chloride mu biryo, uburebure bw'umubiri wa Macrobrachium rosenbergii bwiyongereyeho 27.63% kandi igipimo cy'ibiryo cyagabanutseho 8% nyuma y'iminsi 150 ugereranije n'itsinda ryagenzuwe.Betainebishobora kunoza inzira yo gutwika aside irike muri mitochondria y'uturemangingo, kongera cyane ingano ya acyl carnitine y'uruhererekane rurerure n'ikigereranyo cya acyl carnitine y'uruhererekane rurerure igera kuri carnitine mu mitsi no mu mwijima, guteza imbere ibora ry'ibinure, kugabanya ibinure mu mwijima no mu mubiri, guteza imbere imikorere ya poroteyine, kongera gukwirakwiza ibinure mu nyamaswa, no kugabanya umuvuduko w'ubwiyongere bw'ibinure mu mwijima.
