l-carnitine fatty acid transport mitochondria Activation and Transportation of Acids to the via the Carnitine Shuttle with Animation CARNITINE TRANSPORT AND FATTY ACID

L-carnitine supplementation was explored as an alternative to statins for combating low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and chronic heart disease (CHD)

The gene expression of carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase (SLC25A20) in PBMC remained stable in CAR, whereas it was upregulated in CON during the LPS challenge, suggesting an adaptation to increased energy demands in CON

Surprisingly, very similar prediction results with AUROC = 0.80 was established in this external validation cohort, suggesting that these microbiome features can be used to distinguish and predict human TMAO producer phenotypes from carnitine metabolism and have adequate potential to be applied in different populations

The fumarate component participates in the citric acid cycle as an intermediate metabolite, potentially supporting aerobic energy production and cellular respiration processes
