Defining the potential antidepressant mode of action of acetyl-l-carnitine.
Bigio et al. (1) report that oral administration of acetyl-Lcarnitine (LAC) results in antidepressant-like effects along with an improvement of energy metabolism in the ventral dentate gyrus in endogenously depressed Flinders Sensitive Line rats (FSL). FSL also show a significant reduction of LAC in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex compared with Flinders Resistant Line rats (2). However, i...
متن کاملAcetyl-L-Carnitine Monograph
Introduction Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is an ester of the trimethylated amino acid, L-carnitine, and is synthesized in the human brain, liver, and kidney by the enzyme ALC-transferase. Acetyl-L-carnitine facilitates the uptake of acetyl CoA into the mitochondria during fatty acid oxidation, enhances acetylcholine production, and stimulates protein and membrane phospholipid synthesis. ALC, simila...
متن کاملComparison between the effects of L-Carnitine and Acetyl-L-Carnitine on myocardial infarction size in ischemic heart
Introduction: In the present study, potential differences between the effects of L-carnitine (LC) and acetyl-Lcarnitine (ALC) on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced myocardial infarction size were investigated. Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups and then anesthetized by sodium pentobarbital. Hearts of the animals were removed and quickly mounted on a Langendorff ...
متن کاملThe Effects of L-carnitine and L-acetyl- carnitine on in vitro sperm maturation
Received: 13 November 2010 Revised: 16 May 2011 Accepted: 15 June 2011 Abstract Background: Sperm cells extracted from testes (TESE) have poor chromatin quality and motility. Various substances are used in the laboratory to increase sperm motility and improve the ART outcomes; however, there are few research which considered improving both sperm motility and chromatin quality. Objective: The ai...
