carnitine and Zellweger Syndrome

carnitine has been researched along with Zellweger Syndrome in 6 studies

Zellweger Syndrome: An autosomal recessive disorder due to defects in PEROXISOME biogenesis which involves more than 13 genes encoding peroxin proteins of the peroxisomal membrane and matrix. Zellweger syndrome is typically seen in the neonatal period with features such as dysmorphic skull; MUSCLE HYPOTONIA; SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS; visual compromise; SEIZURES; progressive degeneration of the KIDNEYS and the LIVER. Zellweger-like syndrome refers to phenotypes resembling the neonatal Zellweger syndrome but seen in children or adults with apparently intact peroxisome biogenesis.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Due to the importance of L-carnitine in intermediary metabolism we studied the effects of L-carnitine on healthy human skin fibroblasts and fibroblasts without functional peroxisomes (Zellweger Syndrome) cultivated under carnitine deficiency, which is caused by standard media compositions."3.72L-Carnitine alters nitric oxide synthase activity in fibroblasts depending on the peroxisomal status. ( Koeck, T; Kremser, K, 2003)
