Hepatic Mitochondrial Proteins in Effect of Acetyl - L - carnitine Congenitally JSMA Hyperammonemic spf Mice :
The sparse-fur (spf) mutant mouse has an X-linked deficiency of hepatic ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), and devetops hyperftmmonemia immediately after weaning and maintains it throughout its life span. We haye studied the effects of acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) on the hepatic mitochondrial proteins of the chronicaJly hyperammonemic spf mice. Two different age groups of mice were studied, the we...
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 کاملThe effect of acetyl l-carnitine on ultrastructure of injured motoneuron synapses in adult rat
Background and Objective: Spinal cord compression is a relatively common neurological complication in developing country. This study was designed to assess neuroprotective effect of acetyl L-carnitine. Materials and Methods: 16 adult Sprague Dawley rats weighing 250 to 300 g were divided into 4 randomized groups, namely, A-laminectomy with daily intraperitoneal injection of acetyl L-carnitine....
متن کاملAcetyl-L-Carnitine in Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder that is estimated to affect approximately 1% of the population older than 65 years of age (deRijk et al., 2006; Saunders, 2000). PD was first described in 1818 by the British physician J. Parkinson. Before that date, no one had ever described the symptoms of this disease; so many researchers theorize that this patho...
متن کاملThe Effect of Acetyl-L-Carnitine on Learning and Spatial Memory Deficit in Diabetic Rats
Background & Aims: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that in the long-term is accompanied with deficits in learning, memory, and cognitive skills. Due to the existing evidence regarding the anti-diabetic potential of acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC), the effect of its long-term administration on learning and spatial memory deficits was investigated in diabetic rats. Methods: In this exp...
