Carnitine is a nutrient-like substance that plays a crucial role in energy production within cells. It's synthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and its primary function is to transport long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, where they are broken down to generate energy. Carnitine is essential for muscle function, brain health, and overall energy metabolism. It is particularly important for individuals involved in intense physical activity as it aids in fat burning and muscle recovery. Research on carnitine focuses on its potential benefits in various conditions, including: improving athletic performance, reducing fatigue, enhancing cognitive function, and potentially mitigating heart disease and diabetes. It is also studied for its potential to support healthy aging and combat oxidative stress.'

Overview

L-Carnitine is an essential component of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation and plays a pivotal role in the maturation of spermatozoa within the male reproductive tract. Carnitine shuttle is a complex consisting of three enzymes whose function is to transport the long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria.

Effects

L-carnitine has a good therapeutic effect on carnitine deficiency-induced cardiomyopathy. Carnitine also has a prominent protective effect against AA toxicity and may be of therapeutic value in the treatment of AA-induced hepatotoxicity.

L-carnitine has been used for several years as an adjuvant therapy in oxidative stress, blood sugar, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), anemia, etc. Carnitine deficiency has been implicated as a potential pathway for cancer-related fatigue.

Toxicity

L-carnitine may improve liver function and regulate triglyceride metabolism in patients with NAFLD, and with no significant adverse effects. Several studies or isolated clinical observations have suggested the potential value of oral L-c Carnitine in reversing carnitine deficiency.

Bioavailability

Carnitine levels and rate of urinary elimination were increased before and after surgery. The ability of acylcarnitines to increase the transmeningeal flux of morphine in vitro suggests that lauroyl or myristoyl carnitine may increase the spinal bioavailability of morphine after epidural administration.

Dosage Studied

L-carnitine was investigated using 180 breeder hens. A daily dosage of 20-40 mg/kg carnitine is sufficient to maintain normal C0 concentrations. Treatment with L-c Carnitine in a dosage range of 35-50 mg/kg/day resulted in a marked improvement in alertness and arousability.
