Acetyl-L-carnitine is one of the most common metabolites of carnitine and can cross into the mitochondrial membrane to support energy production and brain health.* Mechanism of Action Beta-Oxidation and Fatty Acid Transport Carnitine is required to transport long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane for beta-oxidation, where fats are converted into cellular energy
Sintesi endogena e distribuzione tissutale In assenza di alterazioni genetiche o patologie, l'organismo in grado di produrre carnitina: circa 1,2 mol/die/kg , pari complessivamente a circa il 25% della carnitina totale
Rodent studies have investigated its role in stimulating new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), accelerating wound tissue closure, and protecting the stomach and intestinal lining from experimentally induced damage
