Carnitine, endogenously derived from the amino acids lysine and methionine in the body
and exogenously derived especially from animal sources in the diet, is a vitamin-like amino …

Carnitine has high dialyzability and is often deficient in dialysis patients. This deficiency is
treated by either intravenous (IV) or oral supplementation of carnitine. In this study, the mode …

Dear Sir, L-Carnitine is a nonprotein amino acid that is present in tissues with high energy
requirements such as the skeletal muscle and myocardium. It is also present in large …

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the influence of serum carnitine levels on the
metabolic status and lipid profile of patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis …

Serum free and esterified carnitine levels as well as lipids were investigated in patients
undergoing regular hemodialysis (HD) treatment before and during 12 weeks of treatment …

Abstract Background/Aims: Hospitalizations account for 41% of the total cost of end-stage
renal disease (ESRD) care. Carnitine deficiency is common among dialysis patients, and …

Carnitine is a conditionally essential metabolite that plays a critical role in cell physiology.
Carnitine is necessary for fatty acid transport to sites of beta-oxidation in the mitochondria …

Abstract Background/Aim: L-Carnitine is important in β-oxidation of fatty acids. A lack of
carnitine in hemodialysis patients is caused by insufficient carnitine synthesis and especially …

Abstract Carnitine, 3‐hydroxy‐4‐trimethylaminobutyrate, a small, water soluble molecule
that is essential for mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, is significantly reduced in hemodialysis …
