Impaired exercise performance and skeletal muscle mitochondrial function in rats with secondary carnitine deficiency

Purpose: The effects of carnitine depletion upon exercise performance and skeletal muscle mitochondrial function remain largely unexplored. We therefore investigated the effect of N-trimethyl-hydrazine-3-propionate (THP), a carnitine analogue inhibiting carnitine biosynthesis and renal carnitine rea...
