Acetyl-l-carnitine supplementation restores decreased tissue carnitine levels and impaired lipid metabolism in aged rats
The effects of long-term carnitine supplementation on age-related changes in tissue carnitine levels and in lipid metabolism were investigated. The total carnitine levels in heart, skeletal muscle, cerebral cortex, and hippocampus were ∼20% less in aged rats (22 months old) than in young rats (6 mon...
