Download or read book User s Guide to Carnitine and Acetyl L Carnitine written by Vera Tweed and published by Basic Health Publications, Inc.. This book was released on 2005-12 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People who need more energy and want to avoid stimulants that will make them edgy should consider taking supplements of carnitine or acetyl-l-carnitine, two forms of the same nutrient found naturally in protein. Carnitine works by transporting fats in cells to where they are burned for energy. By boosting the activity of the body's cellular furnaces, carnitine can energize the heart, brain, and muscles to do more. Doctors have also found carnitine and acetyl-l-carnitine helpful in treating many conditions, including heart failure, muscle weakness and failing memory. Carnitine can also enhance physical training.

Download or read book L carnitine and Its Role in Medicine written by Roberto Ferrari and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, it has become increasingly evident that L-carnitine is intimately involved in many different aspects of medicine. The precise nature of this involvement is the subject of ongoing studies being conducted in clinics and laboratories world wide. The purpose of this book is to provide an introductory overview of the metabolism of carnitine and its role in medicine as it is understood today. Any advances in our understanding to be made in the future might then be better placed in context. The first comprehensive review of the function and therapeutic uses of L-carnitine, the book includes three sections covering a general introduction to the basic aspects of carnitine metabolism, and the involvement of carnitine in the clinical aspects of pediatric medicine and of adult medicine.

Download or read book Carnitine Biosynthesis Metabolism And Functions written by Rene Frenkel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carnitine Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Functions contains the proceedings of the Virginia Lazenby O'Hara Biochemistry Symposium held in Dallas, Texas, from March 31 to April 1, 1979. The papers explore all aspects of carnitine metabolism, including its biosynthesis, regulation, transport, and functions. Comprised of 24 chapters divided into four sections, this book opens with a brief review of the situation which led to the discovery of carnitine as a vitamin and its role in acetylation. The discussion then turns to the chemistry and biosynthesis of carnitine in Neurospora crassa, rat kidney, and humans. The purification of enzymes involved in the conversion of trimethyllysine to trimethylaminobutyrate is also considered. The following chapters examine carnitine transport across the plasma membrane; formation and utilization of isobutyrylcarnitine; regulation of blood carnitine and carnitine acyltransferases in the perinatal period; and inhibitors of carnitine transport and metabolism. The final section is devoted to medical and clinical aspects of carnitine, touching on topics such as the possible causes and effects of carnitine deficiency in humans; carnitine deficiency in cirrhosis; protective effects of L-carnitine on ischemic heart; and changes in carnitine-linked metabolism during ischemia, thermal injury, and shock. This monograph will be a useful resource for biochemists and those interested in the physiological roles of carnitine.

The 5 areas include: carnitine metabolism and function in normal subjects; assay methods for carnitine, carnitine-biosynthetic enzymes, and enzymes that utilize carnitine as a substrate; human carnitine deficiency; deficiencies of enzymes that use carnitine as a substrate; and situations in which carnitine deficiency is secondary to chronic disease states. The use of carnitine supplementation also is discussed. Five workshop summaries concerning the analysis, deficiency diagnosis, and supplementation of carnitine are appended.

Download or read book Advances in Nutrition and Cancer 2 written by Vincenzo Zappia and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume includes contributions presented at the Second International Sym posium on Nutrition and Cancer, held in Naples, Italy, in October 1998 at the National Tumor Institute "Fondazione Pascale." During the Conference, experts from different disciplines discussed pivotal and timely subjects on the interactions between human nutrition and the development of malignancies. Comparing the themes of this Meeting with those discussed at the First Sympo sium in 1992, the major scientific advancements certainly derive from the extensive use of molecular approaches to perform research in nutrition. Moreover, the fundamental observation of R. Doll and R. Peto (1981), which suggested that at least 35% of all cancers (with large differences among different tumors) might be prevented by dietary regimens, has been definitively confirmed by epidemiological studies. On the other hand, the relationships between diet and cancer are quite intricate and complex; it is difficult, and at the same time not methodologically correct, to reduce them to simple terms. Metabolic and hormonal factors, contaminants and biological agents, and deficiency of specific protective nutrients are all pieces of the same puzzle.
