Fenofibrate causes elevation of betaine excretion but not excretion of other osmolytes by healthy adults.

J. Clin. Lipidol. 8(4) , 433-40, (2014)

Cross-sectional data suggest that bezafibrate increases betaine excretion in dyslipidemic patients.We aimed to demonstrate that fenofibrate induces increased betaine excretion in normal subjects and explore whether other 1-carbon metabolites and osmolytes are...

Extreme urinary betaine losses in type 2 diabetes combined with bezafibrate treatment are associated with losses of dimethylglycine and choline but not with increased losses of other osmolytes.

Cardiovasc. Drugs Ther. 28(5) , 459-68, (2014)

Betaine deficiency is a probable cardiovascular risk factor and a cause of elevated homocysteine. Urinary betaine excretion is increased by fibrate treatment, and is also often elevated in diabetes. Does fibrate further increase betaine excretion in diabetes,...

Carnitine transporter CT2 (SLC22A16) is over-expressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and target knockdown reduces growth and viability of AML cells.

Apoptosis 20 , 1099-108, (2015)

AML (acute myeloid leukemia) cells have a unique reliance on mitochondrial metabolism and fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Thus, blocking FAO is a potential therapeutic strategy to target these malignant cells. In the current study, we assessed plasma membrane car...

Endogenous functional compounds in Korean native chicken meat are dependent on sex, thermal processing and meat cut.

J. Sci. Food Agric. 95(4) , 771-5, (2015)

In this study the effects of sex, meat cut and thermal processing on the carnosine, anserine, creatine, betaine and carnitine contents of Korean native chicken (KNC) meat were determined. Forty 1-day-old chicks (20 chicks of each sex) from a commercial KNC st...

[Comparative evaluation of the effects of carnitine stereoisomers and racemate on the cardio- and hemodynamics of rats on a carnitine-deficient diet].

Vestn. Ross. Akad. Med. Nauk 7 , 20-27, (2006)

L-carnitine (L-beta-hydroxy-gamma-N,N,N-trimethylaminobutyric acid) is conditionally necessary for mitochondrial transport and metabolism of long-chain fatty acids, and thus for myocardial energetic metabolism. D-carnitine is not biologically active and might...

[Stereopharmacology of carnitine].

Ross. Fiziol. Zh. Im. I. M. Sechenova 91 , 1469-1480, (2005)

L-Carnitine (L-beta-hydroxy-gamma-N,N,N-trimethylaminobutyric acid) plays an essential role in fatty acid transport in the mitochondrion. Conditions that appear to benefit from exogenous supplementation of L-carnitine include anorexia, chronic fatigue, cardio...

Effects of L-, D-, and DL-carnitine on morphometric parameters of skeletal muscle and exercise performance of laboratory animals receiving carnitine-deficient diet.

Bull. Exp. Biol. Med. 142 , 458-460, (2006)

Serum concentration of L-carnitine, the mean thickness of the skeletal muscle fiber, and exercise performance in the forced swimming test decreased in rats receiving a carnitine-deficient diet. Treatment with L-carnitine compensated for carnitine deficiency, ...
