Improved methodology to assay carnitine and levels of free and total carnitine in human plasma
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1991Carnitine, once known as vitamin Bt, is intrinsic to human tissue and is biochemically established as being acylated with fatty acids by Acyl-CoA to give Acyl-carnitines which then are transported to the inner mitochondrial membrane by a translocase.

Free carnitine levels in children with steroid–sensitive nephrotic syndrome
Pediatrics International, 2002Abstract Background : Carnitine transports long‐chain fatty acids accross the inner mitochondrial membrane. Carnitine metabolism is disturbed in some renal diseases, such as chronic renal failure. Previous studies have shown that children had normal serum free carnitine (FC) and total carnitine levels in idiopathic nephrotic ...

International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research, 2005
This study was undertaken to investigate the bioavailability of various L-carnitine esters (acetyl-L-carnitine and lauroyl-L-carnitine) and salts (L-carnitine L-tartrate, L-carnitine fumarate, L-carnitine magnesium citrate) relative to base of free L-carnitine.

Plasma and urine free L-Carnitine in human diabetes mellitus
Acta Diabetologica Latina, 1981L-carnitine is essential for the transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria and their oxidation. Recently, a relationship between plasma free fatty acids (FFA) and L-carnitine metabolism has been observed. Plasma free L-carnitine (FC), FFA, triglycerides, cholesterol, blood glucose concentration and daily excretion of FC were determined in ...

Renal handling of free and acylcarnitine in secondary carnitine deficiency
Neurology, 1984Free and acylcarnitine in serum and urine samples were measured in miscellaneous diseases, including mitochondrial cytopathy with Fanconi's syndrome (MCFS). The urinary concentration of acylcarnitine always exceeded that of free carnitine, and a significant negative correlation was found between the ratio of serum free to acylcarnitine and the ratio of

l‐Carnitine May Attenuate Free Fatty Acid‐Induced Endothelial Dysfunction
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004Abstract: We have recently shown that elevated levels of free fatty acid (FFA) seen in insulin‐resistant obese subjects are associated with endothelial dysfunction. l‐Carnitine, which is required for mitochondrial FFA transport/oxidation, has been reported to improve vascular function in subjects with diabetes and heart disease.

Advances in peritoneal dialysis. Conference on Peritoneal Dialysis, 2006
Carnitine has an essential role in the mitochondrial oxidation of long-chain fatty acids. Carnitine deficiency has been described in patients with chronic kidney disease. Total carnitine (TC) deficiency or a lower-than-normal ratio of free carnitine to acylated carnitine (FC:AC) has been shown to be associated with disorders in metabolism and plasma ...

Background Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurring self-limited fever, abdominal pain and chest pain caused by serositis (1). FMF mainly affects Middle-East populations with a high prevalence in Sephardic Jews, Turkish, Arabs and Armenians (2).

Levels of Seminal Free L(-) Carnitine in Fertile and Infertile Men
Journal of Urology, 1984Data about the levels of free L‐carnitine, an epididymal marker in human semen, are contradictory and unclear, particuliarly in their releationship to fertility. This can perhaps be explained by the absence of any studies of seminal L‐carnitine in a large group of fertile men, and by the lack of consideration of factors influencing its secretion.In ...
