carnitine and Ascorbic Acid Deficiency

carnitine has been researched along with Ascorbic Acid Deficiency in 17 studies

Ascorbic Acid Deficiency: A condition due to a dietary deficiency of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), characterized by malaise, lethargy, and weakness. As the disease progresses, joints, muscles, and subcutaneous tissues may become the sites of hemorrhage. Ascorbic acid deficiency frequently develops into SCURVY in young children fed unsupplemented cow's milk exclusively during their first year. It develops also commonly in chronic alcoholism. (Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1177)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Ascorbic acid deficiency in guinea pigs resulted in decreased activity of hepatic gamma-butyrobetaine hydroxylase and renal but not hepatic epsilon-N-trimethyllsine hydroxylase when exogenous substrates were provided."4.78Ascorbic acid and carnitine biosynthesis. ( Rebouche, CJ, 1991)
"These data indicate that blood histamine and plasma free carnitine are altered in individuals with subnormal, non-scorbutic vitamin C status and provide evidence that metabolic changes independent of collagen metabolism occur prior to the manifestation of scurvy."3.69Vitamin C depletion is associated with alterations in blood histamine and plasma free carnitine in adults. ( Corte, C; Johnston, CS; Solomon, RE, 1996)
"Severe and long-term vitamin C deficiency can lead to fatal scurvy, which is fortunately considered rare today."2.72Vitamin C Deficiency in the Young Brain-Findings from Experimental Animal Models. ( Tveden-Nyborg, P, 2021)
"Carnitine is an essential cofactor in the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix and plays an important role in energy production via beta-oxidation."1.35Vitamin C is not essential for carnitine biosynthesis in vivo: verification in vitamin C-depleted senescence marker protein-30/gluconolactonase knockout mice. ( Amano, A; Furusawa, H; Goto, S; Handa, S; Inai, Y; Ishigami, A; Iwama, M; Kondo, Y; Maruyama, N; Murata, A; Nishikimi, M; Sato, Y; Takahashi, R; Tanaka, Y, 2008)
"Experimental vitamin C deficiency in guinea pigs is associated with low carnitine concentrations in blood and some tissues."1.29The ability of guinea pigs to synthesize carnitine at a normal rate from epsilon-N-trimethyllysine or gamma-butyrobetaine in vivo is not compromised by experimental vitamin C deficiency. ( Rebouche, CJ, 1995)
"Experimental vitamin C deficiency is associated with carnitine concentrations in blood and some tissues, but is not due to a decreased ability of scorbutic animals to synthesize carnitine."1.29Renal handling of carnitine in experimental vitamin C deficiency. ( Rebouche, CJ, 1995)
