acetylcarnitine and Diabetic Neuropathies

acetylcarnitine has been researched along with Diabetic Neuropathies in 26 studies

Acetylcarnitine: An acetic acid ester of CARNITINE that facilitates movement of ACETYL COA into the matrices of mammalian MITOCHONDRIA during the oxidation of FATTY ACIDS.

Diabetic Neuropathies: Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1325)

" Animals with 4 weeks of hyperglycemia and reduced NCV treated with an aldose reductase inhibitor (sorbinil) or a short-chain acyl-carnitine (acetyl-L-carnitine [ALC]) daily for 16 weeks showed an improvement in NCV."3.69The effects of acetyl-L-carnitine and sorbinil on peripheral nerve structure, chemistry, and function in experimental diabetes. ( Carver, J; Korthals, JK; Lowitt, S; Malone, JI; Miranda, C; Salem, AF, 1996)
" LAC (or placebo) was started intramuscularly at a dosage of 1000 mg/day for 10 days and continued orally at a dosage of 2000 mg/day for the remainder of the study (355 days)."2.70Acetyl-L-carnitine (levacecarnine) in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. A long-term, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. ( De Grandis, D; Minardi, C, 2002)
"Flurbiprofen treatment of ND rats replicated many of the biochemical and physiological abnormalities of EDN, i."1.31Dissection of metabolic, vascular, and nerve conduction interrelationships in experimental diabetic neuropathy by cyclooxygenase inhibition and acetyl-L-carnitine administration. ( Greene, DA; Larkin, D; Li, F; Marinescu, V; Pop-Busui, R; Stevens, MJ; Sullivan, K; Van Huysen, C, 2002)
"Sorbinil treatment was associated with normalized sciatic nerve sorbitol and myo-inositol; ALC treatment did not reduce the elevated sorbitol levels, but sciatic nerve myo-inositol content was no different from nondiabetic levels."1.29Acetyl-L-carnitine corrects the altered peripheral nerve function of experimental diabetes. ( Benford, S; Korthals, J; Lowitt, S; Malone, JI; Salem, AF, 1995)
