Pivalate-generating prodrugs have been suggested to cause clinically significant hypocarnitinaemia. Tenofovir dipivoxil, a novel ester prodrug of tenofovir, can be used for treatment for hepatitis B and HIV infection and it was necessary to evaluate the effect of its treatment on carnitine
Myocardial ischaemia may be defined as a deficiency in cardiac energy supply relative to energy demand. In coronary artery disease (CAD), oxygen supply is limited due to coronary obstruction so energy production is not enough to meet the energy demands for work. Several reports involving about 2500
L-Carnitine (L-C) transports fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation and is marketed as a weight loss supplement. In a double-blind investigation to test the weight loss efficacy of L-C, 36 moderately overweight premenopausal women were pair matched on Body Mass Index (BMI) and randomly assigned
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) improves non-oncological neuropathies. We tested oral ALC (1 g tid) for 8 weeks in 25 patients with neuropathy grade 3 (common toxicity criteria--CTC) during paclitaxel or cisplatin therapy, or grade 2 persisting for at least three months after discontinuing the drugs. An
Radiation therapy is a key modality in the treatment of different cancer types. Fatigue is the most common side effect of radiotherapy, while others include nausea, hair loss, skin irritation, anemia, infertility, cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment and even the development of second
Treatment of 17 children aged 2-9.5 years with a combination of pivmecillinam and pivampicillin (250-500 mumol 24 h-1) for more than 1 year resulted in a reduction of the free carnitine concentration in serum and muscle to less than 10% of the mean reference value. The decline in serum was slow,
The case of a girl who presented with gastrointestinal upsets with nausea, vomiting and occasional hypoglycaemic attacks during childhood is reported. At about 5 years of age generalised muscular weakness with severe amyotrophy, cardiomegaly with a cardiothoracic ratio of 0,63, left ventricular
In 25 patients with chronic renal failure treated by haemodialysis with acetate-37 mEq/l containing fluid, plasma free, total carnitine and acetate concentration before and after HD were assessed. The concentration of acetate was high-12 mmol/l in 4 patients in which carnitine concentration was low.
Patients with cyclic vomiting syndrome suffer from recurring episodes of severe nausea and vomiting. This paper presents 6 patients who responded to 1-carnitine administration. Average time between episodes was 1.7 months before carnitine administration and increased to 1.1 years after carnitine
BACKGROUND
The most common complications during dialysis are hypotension and muscle cramps. There are many strategies to prevent and treat these complications.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of vitamin E and L-carnitine supplementation alone and in combination on
BACKGROUND
There is evidence that both carnitine and coenzyme Q 10 (Co Q), which are important for the functioning of myocardial mitochondria, are deficient in patients with congestive heart failure, in association with increased pro-inflammatory cytokines. It is possible that supplementation with
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial was carried out to compare 24-week periods of treatment with 1 g acetyl-l-carnitine twice daily and placebo in the treatment of patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type. A total of 36 patients entered the trial, of
Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is one of the mitochondrial encephalomyopathies that has distinct clinical features including stroke-like episodes with migraine-like headache, nausea, vomiting, encephalopathy and lactic acidosis.
BACKGROUND
Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS), defined by recurrent stereotypical episodes of nausea and vomiting, is a relatively-common disabling and historically difficult-to-treat condition associated with migraine headache and mitochondrial dysfunction. Limited data suggests that the anti-migraine
