Background and aim Clinical evidence which investigated the effects of l-carnitine, a vitamin-
like substance, on weight loss had led to inconsistent results. This study therefore aimed to …

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 …

Background Levocarnitine deficiency in hemodialysis patients is common. Although the
effect of levocarnitine therapy on uremic anemia has been studied in small trials, its effects …

Kidney disease is associated with a wide variety of metabolic abnormalities that accompany
the uremic state and the state of dialysis dependence. These include altered L-carnitine …

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 …

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was carried
out to assess L-carnitine supplements' influence on the biomarkers of metabolic syndrome …

Background Dialysis patients have been shown to have low serum carnitine due to poor
nutrition, deprivation of endogenous synthesis from kidneys, and removal by hemodialysis …

Background Carnitine plays a crucial role in the metabolism of fatty acids as well as energy
production. Previous research has suggested a significant decrease in carnitine levels in …

Background: Carnitine deficiency is common in patients on dialysis. Serum free carnitine
concentration is significantly lower in patients on hemodialysis (HD) than in healthy …

Background Carnitine deficiency is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
who require dialysis. Several clinical studies have suggested that carnitine supplementation …
