Patients receiving hemodialysis also manifest gastrointestinal symptoms, such as
constipation, caused by restriction of water intake and the loss of body water balance …

l-carnitine is an important factor in fatty acid metabolism, and carnitine deficiency is common
in dialysis patients. This study evaluated whether l-carnitine supplementation improved …

Background Carnitine deficiency is common in patients on hemodialysis. However, the
efficacy of L-carnitine supplementation for improving lean body mass (LBM) and physical …

Background L-carnitine is an essential compound that facilitates the transport of long-chain
fatty acid across the inner mitochondrial membrane for β-oxidation. However, the effect of L …

Background. Carnitine loss through dialysis membranes is shown to be related to the lack of
carnitine in long-term haemodialysis patients. It has been previously reported that …

Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that is involved in the transport of
long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondrial matrix. There, these substrates undergo β …

Serum carnitine is decreased in hemodialysis patients, which induces muscle atrophy. Thus,
we examined the different effects of l‐carnitine and exercise on exercise activity and muscle …

Impact of hemodialysis on endogenous plasma and muscle carnitine levels in patients with
end-stage renal disease. Background End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing …

Objective: To investigate plasma-free carnitine (Fc), acylcarnitine (Ac), and total carnitine
(Tc) levels in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD), and to explore their clinical …

L-carnitine supplementation is extensively used in patients on maintenance hemodialysis
(HD) to improve dialysis-related clinical symptoms. In a series of studies, we investigated the …
