acetylcarnitine and Vitamin B 12 Deficiency

acetylcarnitine has been researched along with Vitamin B 12 Deficiency in 2 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.

Vitamin B 12 Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of VITAMIN B 12 in the diet, characterized by megaloblastic anemia. Since vitamin B 12 is not present in plants, humans have obtained their supply from animal products, from multivitamin supplements in the form of pills, and as additives to food preparations. A wide variety of neuropsychiatric abnormalities is also seen in vitamin B 12 deficiency and appears to be due to an undefined defect involving myelin synthesis. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p848)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Although vitamin B12 deficiency is not a primary target of newborn screening (NBS) programs, measurements of propionylcarnitine (C3) and its ratios with acetylcarnitine (C3/C2) and palmitoylcarnitine (C3/C16) may incidentally identify vitamin B12-deficient newborns."1.40Serum vitamin B12 levels during the first trimester of pregnancy correlate with newborn screening markers of vitamin B12 deficiency. ( Dayaldasani, A; Pérez-Valero, V; Rodríguez-Espinosa, M; Rueda, I; Ruiz-Escalera, J; Yahyaoui, R, 2014)
"Carnitine metabolism was studied in the vitamin B-12-deficient rat to define the relationship between alterations in acylcarnitine generation and the development of methylmalonic aciduria."1.27Carnitine metabolism in the vitamin B-12-deficient rat. ( Brass, EP; Stabler, SP, 1988)
"Propionylcarnitine was a significant constituent of the acylcarnitine pool in the vitamin B-12-deficient animals."1.27Carnitine metabolism in the vitamin B-12-deficient rat. ( Brass, EP; Stabler, SP, 1988)
