Free carnitine and acylcarnitine levels in sera of alcoholics.
Biochemical Medicine and Metabolic Biology, 1990We report the free, acyl-, and total carnitine contents of 49 clinically healthy volunteers and 167 chronic alcoholics with various clinically and/or anatomopathologically identified degrees of hepatic affection. There was a gradual upward trend in carnitine levels as the degree of hepatic affection increased.

Studies on the distribution of free carnitine and the occurrence and nature of bound carnitine.
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1962Abstract The distribution of carnitine in various tissues of the rat was investigated, using modifications of existing assays. Muscle showed about 120–180 μ./g. wet weight; brain, 20 μg.; liver 60–90 μg.; testes, 115 μg. Various treatments with organic solvents and acids released no increased amounts of carnitine. All carnitine was dialyzable.

Serum free carnitine levels in children with recurrent pulmonary infections
Pediatrics International, 1997AbstractThe serum free carnitine levels of 33 children with recurrent pulmonary infection and 30 healthy children were measured and found to be 26.12 ± 0.98 nmol/mL and that of the control group 38.98 ± 0.79 nmol/mL on the average. The mean free carnitine level was statistically determined to be significantly lower when compared with that of the ...

Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) Adequacy Influences Serum Free Carnitine Level
International Urology and Nephrology, 1999An evaluation of serum free carnitine level in CAPD patients in relation to dietary intake, nutritional status and CAPD adequacy and duration.Food diaries, nutritional (total body mass, lean body mass, serum level of proteins, carnitine, cholesterol) and adequacy (Kt/V, PCR, tCcr, EN) parameters were obtained in 23 CAPD patients.Normal carnitine level (

Serum free carnitine levels in children with Kawasaki disease
Pediatrics International, 2022AbstractBackgroundCarnitine plays an essential role in the transfer of long‐chain fatty acids to the mitochondria for β‐oxidation. No study has characterized carnitine in children with Kawasaki disease (KD). The objective of this study was to elucidate the characteristics of serum free carnitine (FC) in hospitalized pediatric patients with KD.MethodsWe

Free L-Carnitine in Human Semen
Archives of Andrology, 1985Spectrophotometrical (412 nm) readings of known amounts of 1-carnitine gave absorbancy changes with minimal interassay variations (8%) in the range of 15.6-125 microM. A 100-microliters volume of seminal plasma was needed for optimal assay repeatability; recoveries of added carnitine were linear (r = 0.998), indicating a sensitivity limit of 0.70 ...

Late onset primary systemic carnitine deficiency exacerbated by carnitine-free parenteral nutrition
Clinical Nutrition, 1992We describe a 21-year-old male with previously normal plasma total and free carnitine levels who developed a deficiency manifest by decreased plasma and muscle total and free carnitine, decreased urine carnitine, severe hepatic steatosis, mediastinal lipomatosis, progressively impaired triglyceride clearance, myopathy and intermittent hypoglycemia ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, 2021
AbstractWe investigated the effectiveness of monitoring serum carnitine levels in hemodialysis patients receiving L‐carnitine supplementation. One‐hundred forty‐five hemodialysis patients were divided into three groups. Group 1 consisted of patients (n = 30) who had been receiving supplementation before this study and then discontinued at the beginning.

Carnitine as a free radical scavenger in aging
Experimental Gerontology, 2001Carnitine (4-N-trimethylammonium-3-hydroxybutyric acid) plays an important role in the translocation of acetyl moieties from the mitochondria into the cytoplasm for acetylcholine synthesis in the brain. Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that L-carnitine suppresses oxidative damage during aging.

Carnitine plays a role in the oxidative metabolism of free fatty-acids by transporting long chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix (1). During chronic hemodialysis, a depletion of plasma carnitine levels has been observed and attributed to dialysis of this unbound low-molecular weight substance (M.W. 161) (2, 3).
