JOURNAL ARTICLES:
Carnitine deficiency in pregnancy. (Obstet Gynecol. 2007)
Carnitine may be useful for cancer-related fatigue "L-carnitine supplementation at up to 3 grams per day is safe and well-tolerated in cancer patients, and relieves cancer-related fatigue, according to a report in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management."
Delayed acetyl-l-carnitine administration and its effect on sensory neuronal rescue after peripheral nerve injury. (J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg. 2007) "When commenced within a clinically applicable time frame ALCAR treatment remains highly neuroprotective, potentially improving clinical outcome following peripheral nerve trauma."
Effect of L-carnitine and/or L-acetyl-carnitine in nutrition treatment for male infertility: a systematic review. (Asia Pac J Clin Nutr. 2007) "In conclusion, the administration of LC and/or LAC may be effective in improving pregnancy rate and sperm kinetic features in patients affected by male infertility. However, the exact efficacy of carnitines on male infertility needs to be confirmed by further investigations."
Effect of L-carnitine on skeletal muscle lipids and oxidative stress in rats fed high-fructose diet. (xp Diabetes Res. 2007) "The effects of CAR in this model suggest that CAR supplementation may have some benefits in patients suffering from insulin resistance."
L-Carnitine in the treatment of fatigue in adult celiac disease patients A pilot study. (Dig Liver Dis. 2007)
L-carnitine protects human retinal pigment epithelial cells from oxidative damage. (Curr Eye Res. 2007)
L-Carnitine treatment reduces severity of physical and mental fatigue and increases cognitive functions in centenarians: a randomized and controlled clinical trial (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2007) "Conclusions: Our study indicates that oral administration of levocarnitine produces a reduction of total fat mass, increases total muscular mass, and facilitates an increased capacity for physical and cognitive activity by reducing fatigue and improving cognitive functions."
Role of l-carnitine in the modulation of immune response in aged rats. (Clin Chim Acta. 2007) “CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that aging is associated with a decline in immune functions and supplementing l-carnitine had a positive effect in improving immune responses in aged animals.”
The use of carnitine in pediatric nutrition. (Nutr Clin Pract. 2007) "The primary role of carnitine is to transport long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, where they undergo beta-oxidation to produce energy. Although the majority of patients are capable of endogenous synthesis of carnitine, certain pediatric populations, specifically neonates and infants, have decreased biosynthetic capacity and are at risk of developing carnitine deficiency, particularly when receiving PN."
