Fenofibrate Therapy in Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase Type 2 Deficiency

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Bezafibrate therapy has been shown to improve beta‐oxidation of fatty acids and to reduce episodes of rhabdomyolysis in patients with carnitine palmitoyltransferase type‐2 (CPT2) deficiency. We report the efficacy of fenofibrate in a patient with CPT2 deficiency, in whom beta‐oxidation was improved but an episode of rhabdomyolysis nevertheless occurred.
