carnitine and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

carnitine has been researched along with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome in 8 studies

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome: An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The use of zidovudine (AZT) for the treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) induces a DNA-depleting mitochondrial myopathy, which is histologically characterized by the presence of muscle fibers with "ragged-red"-like features, red-rimmed or empty cracks, granular degeneration, and rods (AZT fibers)."3.69Zidovudine-induced mitochondrial myopathy is associated with muscle carnitine deficiency and lipid storage. ( Bernardini, I; Dalakas, MC; Gahl, WA; Jay, CA; Leon-Monzon, ME, 1994)
"Twenty male patients with advanced AIDS (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stage IVCI) and normal serum levels of carnitines were enrolled."2.67Carnitine depletion in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with AIDS: effect of oral L-carnitine. ( De Simone, C; Famularo, G; Moretti, S; Sorice, F; Trinchieri, V; Tzantzoglou, S, 1994)
"Carnitine deficiency was suspected in study participants prior to data collection because of previously reported cardiac symptoms, muscle weakness, hypometabolism and/or cachexia."1.28L-carnitine deficiency in AIDS patients. ( De Simone, C; Jirillo, E; Martelli, EA; Marzo, A; Tzantzoglou, S; Vullo, V, 1992)
