Assessment of carnitine excretion and its ratio to plasma free carnitine as a biomarker for primary carnitine deficiency in newborns

open access: yesJIMD Reports, 2023
In the Netherlands, newborns are referred by the newborn screening (NBS) Program when a low free carnitine (C0) concentration (

Serum metabolic alterations in peritoneal dialysis patients with excessive daytime sleepiness

open access: yesRenal Failure, 2023
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is associated with quality of life and all-cause mortality in the end-stage renal disease population. This study aims to identify biomarkers and reveal the underlying mechanisms of EDS in peritoneal dialysis (PD ...

Multicohort Metabolomics Analysis Discloses 9‐Decenoylcarnitine to Be Associated With Incident Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background The molecular mechanisms involved in atrial fibrillation are not well known. We used plasma metabolomics to investigate if we could identify novel biomarkers and pathophysiological pathways of incident atrial fibrillation.

The pathophysiology of leg cramping during dialysis and the use of carnitine in its treatment

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2021
Leg cramping is a common side effect of hemodialysis, and this is frequently treated by the administration of carnitine, but this is not effective in every patient. Alkalosis is a key component of the etiology of leg cramping during hemodialysis sessions.

The Effects of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes and Insulin Treatment on Carnitine Biosynthesis and Renal Excretion

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Carnitine insufficiency is reported in type 1 diabetes mellitus. To determine whether this is accompanied by defects in biosynthesis and/or renal uptake, liver and kidney were obtained from male Sprague-Dawley rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes ...

Carnitine Inborn Errors of Metabolism

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Carnitine plays essential roles in intermediary metabolism. In non-vegetarians, most of carnitine sources (~75%) are obtained from diet whereas endogenous synthesis accounts for around 25%.

Regulation of genes involved in carnitine homeostasis by PPARa across different species (rat, mouse, pig, cattle, chicken, and human) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Recent studies in rodents convincingly demonstrated that PPAR-alpha is a key regulator of genes involved in carnitine homeostasis, which serves as a reasonable explanation for the phenomenon that energy deprivation and fibrate treatment, both of which ...

l-carnitine in critically ill patients—a case series study

open access: yesRenal Replacement Therapy, 2018
Background l-carnitine is essential for lipid metabolism, and lack of l-carnitine intake and loss by treatments lead to carnitine depletion causing muscle weakness, anemia, and immune dysfunction.
