Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The serum concentrations of total, free and acylcarnitine were compared in 25 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and among age- and sex-matched normal controls by the new enzymatic cycling method in order to clarify whether the fatigue in MS might be due to possible carnitine-related fatty acid metabolic abnormalities in the mitochondria of skeletal muscles."7.69Serum carnitine and disabling fatigue in multiple sclerosis. ( Fukazawa, T; Hamada, T; Kikuchi, S; Sasaki, H; Tashiro, K, 1996)
"Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) complain of muscle pain and impaired exercise tolerance."5.31Normal carnitine levels in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. ( Bleijenberg, G; Elving, LD; Janssen, AJ; Soetekouw, PM; van der Meer, JW; van der Veen, Y; Vreken, P; Wevers, RA, 2000)

( Fukazawa, T; Hamada, T; Kikuchi, S; Sasaki, H; Tashiro, K, 1996)
"L-Carnitine is a safe and very well tolerated medicine which improves the clinical status of CFS patients."2.68Amantadine and L-carnitine treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. ( Plioplys, AV; Plioplys, S, 1997)
"Many patients with chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS) fulfill the criteria of FMS and represent one end of a spectrum of presentation."2.40[Fibromyalgia syndrome]. ( Matsumoto, Y, 1999)
"Myalgic encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Gulf War Illness (GWI) share many symptoms of fatigue, pain, and cognitive dysfunction that are not relieved by rest."1.62Exercise modifies glutamate and other metabolic biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid from Gulf War Illness and Myalgic encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. ( Baraniuk, JN; Cheema, A; Kern, G; Narayan, V, 2021)
"The underlying aetiology of chronic fatigue syndrome is currently unknown; however, in the light of carnitine's critical role in mitochondrial energy production, it has been suggested that chronic fatigue syndrome may be associated with altered carnitine homeostasis."1.37Long-chain acylcarnitine deficiency in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. Potential involvement of altered carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I activity. ( Evans, AM; Reuter, SE, 2011)
"Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) complain of muscle pain and impaired exercise tolerance."1.31Normal carnitine levels in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. ( Bleijenberg, G; Elving, LD; Janssen, AJ; Soetekouw, PM; van der Meer, JW; van der Veen, Y; Vreken, P; Wevers, RA, 2000)
"As carnitine has an important role in energy production and modulation of the intramitochondrial coenzyme A (CoA)/acyl-CoA ratio in the skeletal muscle, this deficiency might induce an energy deficit and/or abnormality of the intramitochondrial condition in the skeletal muscle, thus resulting in general fatigue, myalgia, muscle weakness, and postexertional malaise in patients with CFS."1.29Acylcarnitine deficiency in chronic fatigue syndrome. ( Kitani, T; Kuratsune, H; Misaki, H; Tagawa, S; Takahashi, M; Yamaguti, K, 1994)
"Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) suffer from disabling physical and mental fatigue."1.29Electron-microscopic investigation of muscle mitochondria in chronic fatigue syndrome. ( Plioplys, AV; Plioplys, S, 1995)
