Description: | L-Carnitine hydrochloride ((R)-Carnitine hydrochloride), a highly polar, small zwitterion, is an essential co-factor for the mitochondrial β-oxidation pathway. L-Carnitine hydrochloride functions to transport long chain fatty acyl-CoAs into the mitochondria for degradation by β-oxidation. L-Carnitine hydrochloride is an antioxidant. L-Carnitine hydrochloride can ameliorate metabolic imbalances in many inborn errors of metabolism[1][2][3]. |
Target: | Human Endogenous Metabolite |
In Vivo: | L-Carnitine hydrochloride ((R)-Carnitine hydrochloride) (125, 250 mg/kg; i.p.) has a more pronounced bronchodilator effect in this chronic murine asthma model, and decreases urinary LTE4 excretion[4]. Animal Model: 8- to 10-weeks-old and weighed 28-30g BALB/c mice[4] Dosage: 125, 250 mg/kg Administration: i.p. Result: SaO2 increased significantly at 250 mg/kg and decreased urinaryLTE4 excretion. |
