L-carnitine infusion does not alleviate lipid-induced insulin resistance and metabolic inflexibility.
<h4>Background</h4>Low carnitine status may underlie the development of insulin resistance and metabolic inflexibility. Intravenous lipid infusion elevates plasma free fatty acid (FFA) concentration and is a model for simulating insulin resistance and metabolic inflexibility in healthy,...
