L carnitine l carnitine

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Visit Supplier

L-carnitine is an organic compound that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism. It is involved in the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they can be used for the production of energy through the process of beta-oxidation. L-carnitine is an essential nutrient that can be obtained through dietary sources or synthesized in the body.

Mice were given free access to water and standard chow (PicoLab 5053, Lab Diets, Richmond, IN), in pathogen-free housing under 12-hour light-dark cycles. Indirect calorimetry was determined in either Oxymax chambers (Columbus Instruments) in Figure 3 (14 week) or by TSE Metabolic Cages in Figures 1 and 3 (2 weeks) with or without free access to a running wheel attached to the indirect calorimetry recording system. Fat and lean mass was determined by EchoMRI-700™ (EchoMRI LLC, Houston, TX). For diet studies, mice were given ad libitum access to either high-fat diet (Bio-Serv 3282, 60% fat calories) or the matched low-fat diet (Bio-Serv 4031). For carnitine studies, powdered L-carnitine (L(−)-Carnitine, 99+%, ACROS Organics) was directly dissolved into the drinking water at 300 mg/kg/day.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
