Carnitine supplementation alleviates lipid metabolism derangements and protects against oxidative stress in non-obese hereditary hypertriglyceridemic rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of carnitine supplementation on lipid disorders and peripheral tissue insulin sensitivity in a non-obese animal model of insulin resistance, the hereditary hypertriglyceridemic (HHTg) rat. Male HHTg rats were fed a standard diet, and half of them

Oral supplementation of propionyl-l-carnitine reduces body weight and hyperinsulinaemia in obese Zucker rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Propionyl-L-carnitine (PLC) is an SCFA esterified to carnitine that plays an important role in fatty acid oxidation and energy expenditure, in addition to having a protective effect on the endothelium. In order to evaluate the effect of PLC on an animal model of obesity, insulin resistance and,

The clinical and metabolic effects of rapid weight loss in obese pet cats and the influence of supplemental oral L-carnitine.

Only registered users can translate articles

The efficacy, safety, and metabolic consequences of rapid weight loss in privately owned obese cats by means of a canned weight-reduction diet and the influence of orally administered L-carnitine on rate of weight loss, routine clinical evaluations, hepatic ultrasonography, plasma amino acid

Effect of L-carnitine supplementation in comparison with moderate aerobic training on serum inflammatory parameters in healthy obese women.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Obesity is an important worldwide public health problem and considered a disease of chronic low-grade inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of L-carnitine supplementation in comparison with moderate aerobic exercise training on serum inflammatory parameters in

Systematic investigation of the relationships of trimethylamine N-oxide and L-carnitine with obesity in both humans and rodents

Only registered users can translate articles

Previous studies suggested the potential associations of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and its metabolic precursor l-carnitine with obesity. However, existing evidence is limited and inconsistent. In the present study, we perform a cross-sectional analysis of the associations of serum levels of TMAO

Supplemental carnitine affects the microRNA expression profile in skeletal muscle of obese Zucker rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND In the past, numerous studies revealed that supplementation with carnitine has multiple effects on performance characteristics and gene expression in livestock and model animals. The molecular mechanisms underlying these observations are still largely unknown. Increasing evidence suggests

Regulation of carnitine acyltransferase synthesis in lean and obese Zucker rats by dehydroepiandrosterone and clofibrate.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and clofibrate on mitochondrial and peroxisomal proliferation and carnitine acyltransferases [mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) and peroxisomal carnitine octanoyltransferase (COT)] were measured in lean and obese female Zucker rats. DHEA

Acute hormonal effects on carnitine metabolism in thin and obese subjects: responses to somatostatin, glucagon, and insulin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Plasma free carnitine and acylcarnitines were determined in man during acutely induced insulin deficiency. A 5-hr infusion of somatostatin at 6 microgram/min in 10 thin subjects produced profound, sustained hypoinsulinemia and led to rapid increases in plasma free fatty acids and ketoacids (peak

High sensitivity of carnitine acyltransferase I to malonyl-CoA inhibition in liver of obese Zucker rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Carnitine acyltransferase of liver mitochondria prepared from obese Zucker rats has a higher sensitivity to inhibition by malonyl-CoA compared with carnitine acyltransferase of mitochondria prepared from lean Zucker rats.

Increased liver carnitine content in obese women.

Only registered users can translate articles

In experimental animals the enhancement of hepatic fatty acid oxidation and ketogenic capacity is accompanied by a rise in the concentration of liver carnitine. Massive obesity is characterized by enhanced fatty acid turnover, insulin resistance, and often a fatty liver. Carnitine concentrations

Carnitine metabolism in lean and obese Zucker rats during starvation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Carnitine metabolism during starvation was studied in adult lean and obese female Zucker rats. Comparisons were made between rats starved for 0, 3, 6 or 9 d. Total plasma carnitine was not affected by obesity or starvation, but free plasma carnitine decreased with starvation. Plasma acid-soluble

Plasma and urinary carnitine of obese subjects on very-low-calorie diets.

Only registered users can translate articles

We evaluated the differential effects of feeding two very-low-calorie diets upon the fractions of plasma and urinary carnitine in obese females. Ten subjects received either diet D1, a 420 kcal/day formula diet, or diet D2, a 500-600 kcal/day meat/fish/poultry diet. Plasma and urinary carnitine

Variants within the muscle and liver isoforms of the carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1) gene interact with fat intake to modulate indices of obesity in French-Canadians.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity is under the influence of genetic and nutritional factors. The objective was to verify whether variants in the gene encoding the carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1), a key enzyme in beta-oxidation of fatty acids, are associated with obesity phenotypes, alone or in interaction with fat

L-Carnitine supplementation combined with aerobic training does not promote weight loss in moderately obese women.

Only registered users can translate articles

L-Carnitine (L-C) transports fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation and is marketed as a weight loss supplement. In a double-blind investigation to test the weight loss efficacy of L-C, 36 moderately overweight premenopausal women were pair matched on Body Mass Index (BMI) and randomly assigned

The effect of l-carnitine on fat oxidation, protein turnover, and body composition in slightly overweight subjects.

Only registered users can translate articles

We used a combined tracer technique with the stable isotopes 13C and 15N to gain further insight into the metabolic changes that accompany supplementation of L-carnitine. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether L-carnitine supplementation can influence fat oxidation, protein
