L-acetylcarnitine enhances functional muscle re-innervation.

Drugs under experimental and clinical research, 1991
The efficacy of L-acetylcarnitine and L-carnitine treatment on motor re-innervation was analyzed by evaluating different muscular parameters describing functional muscle recovery after denervation and re-innervation. The results show that L-acetylcarnitine markedly enhances functional muscle re-innervation, which on the contrary is unaffected by L ...

Carnitine and acetylcarnitine in motile and immotile human spermatozoa

International Journal of Andrology, 1984
Human sperm were found to contain acetylcarnitine, carnitine, and only traces of propionylcarnitine and four‐carbon acylcarnitines. Carnitine and actylcarnitine were present in higher concentrations in sperm than in the corresponding seminal fluid samples, and the degree of acylation of carnitine was greater in sperm than in seminal plasma.

Effects of intravenous L-acetylcarnitine on retinal oscillatory potentials

Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1988
L-acetylcarnitine is a compound with cholinergic properties and putative action on the visual system and the glucose metabolism. Ten healthy, emmertropic volunteers (age range: 21 to 28 years) were studied. Each subject was administered 5, 10, and 30 mg/kg acute intravenous doses of L-acetylcarnitine and matching placebo. Retinal oscillatory potentials

Effect of acetylcarnitine treatment in oligoasthenospermic patients.

Acta Europaea fertilitatis, 1992
Acetylcarnitine (AC), present in human spermatozoa and seminal fluid, plays an important role in sperm metabolism. To further investigate the effect of AC on sperm quality, AC (4 g/day) was given to 20 patients with idiopathic oliogasthenospermia for 60 days.

Oxidation of acetate, acetyl CoA and acetylcarnitine by pea mitochondria

Planta, 1982
Acetylcarnitine was rapidly oxidised by pea mitochondria. (-)-carnitine was an essential addition for the oxidation of acetate or acetyl CoA. When acetate was sole substrate, ATP and Mg(2+) were also essential additives for maximum oxidation. CoASH additions inhibited the oxidation of acetate, acetyl CoA and acetylcarnitine. It was shown that CoASH was

[L-acetylcarnitine treatment on fragile X patients hyperactive behaviour].

Revista de neurologia, 2001
Hyperactivity is a significant problem for almost all young males affected by fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common inherited disease causing mental retardation. Therapeutical approaches are actually based on Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulants lacking a well defined rationale and efficacy while they further decrease the patient's limited ...

Reduction of Glutamate Levels in HIV-Infected Subjects Treated with Acetylcarnitine

Journal of Neuro-AIDS, 1999
The excitotoxic amino acid glutamate, which is elevated in blood and cerebrospinal fluid from subjects with AIDS dementia complex, is crucially implicated in the neurotoxicity of HIV infection. We describe a subject with AIDS dementia complex who showed a significant motor and cognitive improvement after a course of intravenous acetylcarnitine therapy.

Carnitine and acetylcarnitine in skeletal and cardiac muscle.

International journal for vitamin and nutrition research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Vitamin- und Ernahrungsforschung. Journal international de vitaminologie et de nutrition, 1978
The acetylcarnitine/carnitine ratio has been found significantly increased in tibial muscles of swimming rats in comparison with normal rats. Analogous increase occurred in electrically stimulated tibial muscle in comparison with the unstimulated controlateral muscle of the same animal.

Neurophysiological studies of L-acetylcarnitine administration in man.

Drugs under experimental and clinical research, 1989
Systemic administration of L-acetylcarnitine HCl (LAC) increases in human subjects the amplitude of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) obtained with patterned elements of 7.5 min of visual angle, of steady-state VEPs obtained with intermittent luminous stimulation, of EEG theta, alpha and beta bands.
