N,N-dimethylglycine or dimethylglycine (DMG) is an amino acid derivative found in the cells of all plants and animals and can be obtained in the diet in small amounts from grains and meat. The human body produces DMG when metabolizing choline into glycine. DMG has been found acting at glycine binding site of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). DMG has had wide acceptance as a nonfuel nutrient; presumably it enhances oxygen utilization by tissue and complexes free radicals. There were published studies, which have shown little to no difference between DMG treatment and placebo in autism spectrum disorders and the same no effect was observed in case of investigated DMG for epilepsy. This compound was also suggested to use to improve the athletic performance enhancer, but this usage was ineffective as well.

epilepsy: Dosage was 300 mg/day for the first 14 days and then 600 mg/day up to 28 days
Route of Administration: Oral
It was investigated the effects of N, N-Dimethylglycine (DMG) on the development of in vitro produced (IVP) bovine embryos. IVP embryos were obtained by in vitro fertilization of in vitro matured oocytes for 6 h. In Experiment 1, IVP embryos were cultured in mSOFaa supplemented with bovine serum albumin but without glucose (SOF1) for 4 days, transferred to mSOFaa (with 5% fetal bovine serum and 1.5 mM glucose; SOF2) supplemented with 0 (control), 0.1,1 or 10 microM DMG and cultured for an additional 7 days (11 days in total) to assess their development in vitro. When cultured in the medium with 0.1 microM DMG, a significantly higher number of IVP embryos developed to the blastocyst and hatched blastocyst stages (40.3 and 40.8%, respectively) compared with the other groups (18.7-31.0% and 15.0-28.7%, respectively; P<0.05, analysis of variance). In Experiment 2, IVP embryos were cultured in SOF1 with or without 0.1 microM DMG for 4 days, transferred to SOF2 with or without 0.1 microM DMG and further cultured as in Experiment 1; DMG was added to either SOF1 or SOF2 and to both of them to assess its exposure effects on embryo development. When cultured continuously with DMG for 11 days, significantly higher rates of IVP embryos developed into blastocyst and hatched blastocyst stages (39.0 and 47.7%, respectively) compared with the other groups (31.0-32.2% and 29.5-31.0%, respectively; P<0.05). In Experiment 3, we examined developmental speed of IVP embryos cultured with or without addition of 0.1 microM DMG to IVC medium after 7 days of IVC.
