Objective: The use of non-enzymatic antioxidants in food supplements and proper exercise can have a positive effect on decreasing oxidative stress by free radical hunting. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic training and L-carnitine supplementation on some of the oxidative stress factors in the liver of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental s...

Background:  The aim of the study was to compare the radioprotective efficacy in the kidney of L-carnitine to that of amifostine. Materials and Methods: Thirty three-month-old Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned to four groups: Group 1 (Control); Group 2 (Irradiation alone); Group 3 (amifostine plus irradiation); and Group 4 (L-carnitine before irradiation). The rats in Groups 2, 3, ...

Objective: Due to the lack of information about the positive or negative effects of L-carnitine, chromium, vitamin D, and the uptake of a safe dietary supplement to reduce the effects of diabetes, it seems essential to determine the effects of these drugs on diabetes. Materials and Methods: Wistar rats were divided into 12 groups, control, diabetic, and intact, each of which was treated with m...

background: the present study was conducted to investigate the possible effects of l-carnitine and glutamine and their synergistic effects on male soccer athletes. methods: 28 male soccer players (21.1 ± 0.7 y) were enrolled in a randomized pre and post intervention, double-blind design. before the intervention, their performances were assessed by bruce protocol, and their body composition was ...

introduction: high environmental temperature during summer months which leading to heat stress, is of great concern in all types of poultry production. feed consumption, growth rate, hatchability, mortality, and other important traits governing the prosperity of the industry are adversely affected by severe heat stress. literature suggests that the advantages of dietary l-carnitine and ascorbic...

Impaired L-carnitine uptake correlates with higher blood pressure in adult men, and L-carnitine restores endothelial function in aortic rings from spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). Thus, endothelial dysfunction in hypertension could result from lower L-carnitine transport in this cell type. L-Carnitine transport is mainly mediated by novel organic cation transporters 1 (Octn1, Na(+)-indepen...

There are many causes for carnitine depletion during maintenance hemodialysis. Supplementation with L-carnitine in animals has been associated with improvement in some abnormalities also present in chronic renal failure. However, it is still controversial whether restoring plasma or tissue carnitine will correct clinical or biologic symptoms observed in maintenance hemodialysis. A systematic re...
