The passage of long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which
facilitates beta ([beta]) oxidation and energy production, requires endogenous substance L …

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 …

♦ Objective: In the present study, we aimed to determine levels of free carnitine in
hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in India and to correlate carnitine …

Aim: L-carnitine is a short organic hydrosoluble molecule and is present in biological
materials like free carnitine and acylcarnitines, which constitute the carnitine system. Long …

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 …

Background: L-carnitine deficiency is common in patients with chronic kidney disease,
especially those who are in regular dialysis. L-carnitine deficiency associated with high …

Carnitine deficiency is a commonly observed problem in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD)
patients, which results in altered metabolism of fatty acids and subsequently development of …

L-Carnitine supplementation has shown beneficial effects in patients on hemodialysis. We
studied 36 ESRD adult patients with a mean age of 47.5±15 years to evaluate the effect of L …

1-What is carnitine?. Carnitine metabolism has been recently reviewed [1]. Carnitine is a
161 dalton water-soluble compound discovered in 1905 from muscle tissue, explaining the …

Hemodialysis (HD) is a process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not
working normally. HD patients have high mortality rate compared with general population …
