Novel <i>in vivo</i> measurement of muscle total carnitine concentration reveals potential mechanism linking mitochondrial dysfunction and lipid accumulation
2026-07-29
Abstract excerpt
Free carnitine is essential to mitochondrial health by buffering the free acetyl-CoA pool and thereby maintaining energy production. It is also responsible for transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for oxidation. Almost all the body’s carnitine is in muscle, and plasma concentrations do not reflect tissue content, but there are as yet no non-invasive techniques to assess muscle total or free ca...
