Application
L-Carnitine: An Indispensable Compound for Energy Metabolism in Mammalian Muscle
L-Carnitine occurs naturally in most mammalian tissue. L-Carnitine is indispensable for energy metabolism in muscle, since it enables long-chain fatty acids to enter the mitochondria, where they are broken down via β-oxidation.
