Reduced L-carnitine transport in aortic endothelial cells from spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Reduced L-carnitine transport in aortic endothelial cells from spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Impaired L-carnitine uptake correlates with higher blood pressure in adult men, and L-carnitine restores endothelial function in aortic rings from spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). Thus, endothelial dysfunction in hypertension could result from lower L-carnitine transport in this cell type. L-Ca...
