background: l-carnitine has been demonstrated to confer cardiac protection against ischemia reperfusion injury in animals. this study evaluates the effects of l-carnitine administration on cardiac biomarkers after coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery. methods: one hundred thirty-four patients undergoing elective cabg surgery, without a history of myocardial ischemia or previous l-carniti...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background : previous reports have suggested acute phase proteins, such as albumin, to alter in hemodialysis (hd) patients. intravenous l-carnitine supplementation is expected to improve the level of plasma albumin in hd patients. this study was performed to evaluate the effects of oral l-carnitine supplementation on hemog...

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 aim of this investigation was to evaluate the improvement of the testicul...

background and aim: in skeletal muscle, carnitine plays an essential role in the translocation of long-chain fatty-acids into the mitochondrial matrix for subsequent beta-oxidation. despite an abundance of literature describing the basic mechanisms of action of l-carnitine metabolism, there remains some uncertainty regarding the effects of oral l-carnitine supplementation on metabolism and exer...

Background: The benefit effect of L-carnitine is proposed for treatment of obesity as long time periods. So, in the present study, effect of L-carnitine on serum FSH, LH and testosterone levels in adult male rats is evaluated. Materials and Methods: Rats were treated different doses of L-carnitine tartarate daily for 16 days, peritoneally. The control group was treated saline as vehicle. After ...

l-carnitine as a water soluble derivative of lysine has a crucial biological role in lipid metabolism. present experiment was conducted to study the effect of l-carnitine supplementation into broiler and/or breeder diets on broilers' performance, blood related factors, carcass characteristics and immune system. l-carnitine was added to the broiler breeder's diets at levels of 0, and 6...

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut-related metabolite, is associated with heart failure (HF) outcomes. However, TMAO the final product of complex metabolic pathway (ie, choline/carnitine) that has never been entirely investigated in HF. The present study investigates panel metabolites involved TMAO-choline/carnitine for their associations outcome acute HF patients. In total, 806 plasma sample...

Growth performance, food efficiency and body composition of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were investigated with 1 or 2 g/kg L-carnitine added to the diet. Control diet did not contain L-carnitine. Two hundred pikeperch fingerlings (1.63 g, mean weight) were stocked in each 1 m3 concrete tank and fed equally 6 meals per day for 6 weeks. Higher increment in body weight (5.92 ± 0.37 g), the ...

background: to determine any correlation between infertility and semen quality with concentrations of l-carnitine in human seminal plasma. methods: this case-control study performed in fatemieh hospital in hamadan, iran. seminal plasma of 72 infertile men and 80 men with proved fertility as a control group was investigated and l-carnitine level was determined using uv enzymatic test at 340 nm. ...
