( Berezowski, I; Frasure, SE; Mazer-Amirshahi, M; Patel, J; Pourmand, A; Tran, QK, 2022)
"L-Carnitine combined with HDI may have helped with the calcium channel blocker (CCB) poisoning by decreasing insulin resistance, promoting intracellular glucose transport, facilitating the metabolism of free fatty acids, and increasing calcium channel sensitivity."4.89L-Carnitine for the treatment of a calcium channel blocker and metformin poisoning. ( Ajmo, I; Laliberté, M; Poirier, D; St-Onge, M, 2013)

"Valproic acid (VPA) is a broad-spectrum antiepileptic drug and is usually well tolerated, but rare serious complications may occur in some patients receiving VPA chronically, including haemorrhagic pancreatitis, bone marrow suppression, VPA-induced hepatotoxicity (VHT) and VPA-induced hyperammonaemic encephalopathy (VHE)."2.43Science review: carnitine in the treatment of valproic acid-induced toxicity - what is the evidence? ( Gris, M; Lheureux, PE; Penaloza, A; Zahir, S, 2005)
"Valproic acid (VPA) is a short-chain fatty acid widely prescribed in the treatment of seizure disorders and epilepsy syndromes, although its therapeutic value may be undermined by its toxicity."1.91Quantitative systems pharmacology Model to characterize valproic acid-induced hyperammonemia and the effect of L-carnitine supplementation.

"The onset of coma may have been related to inhibition of beta-oxidation in the mitochondria, which was reversible by elimination of plasma VPA by DHP."1.30Successful treatment by direct hemoperfusion of coma possibly resulting from mitochondrial dysfunction in acute valproate intoxication. ( Kuhara, T; Maeyama, R; Matsumoto, I; Matsumoto, J; Ogawa, H; Okudaira, K; Shinka, T, 1997)
