Comparison of pharmacokinetics of L-carnitine, acetyl-L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine after single oral administration of L-carnitine in healthy volunteers.
PURPOSE To investigate the pharmacokinetics of L-carnitine (LC) and its analogues, acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) and propionyl-L-carnitine (PLC) in healthy volunteers after single L-carnitine administration. METHODS Liquid L-carnitine (2.0 g) was administered orally as a single dose in 12 healthy subjects. Plasma and urine concentrations of L-carnitine, ALC and PLC were detected by HPLC. RESULTS...
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 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...

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...
