Acetyl-L-Carnitine Improves Cell Bioenergetics

, 2012
Introduction: Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC), a natural occurring compound in all mammalian species, plays a variety of vital functions in the body. The most important are related to mitochondria, namely the transport of fatty acids for energy production through β oxidation and the control of acyl-CoA/CoA ratio.
