Description
End-stage renal disease L-Carnitine and short/medium-chain acylcarnitine molecules are removed from the circulation during hemodialysis
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-titration study, 1 to 3 g/day of oral propionyl-L-carnitine for 24 weeks was well tolerated and improved maximal walking distance in patients with intermittent claudication (64)
Biochim Biophys Acta
Another early study examined hemodynamic and angiographic variables before, during, and after administering intravenous propionyl-L-carnitine (15 mg/kg body weight) in men with myocardial dysfunction and angina pectoris (62)
Pivalic acid-containing antibiotics may also produce a secondary L-carnitine deficiency, as may certain chemotherapy agents
The suggestion that carnitine deficiency may lead to frailty through mitochondrial dysfunction (117) has been examined in one trial
