Our study aimed to evaluate (1) the longitudinal metabolic alterations in the hippocampus after TBI using in vivo 1 H-MRS and MRI in developing rat brain, and (2) test whether treatment with acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) affects hippocampal metabolic profile
Study Design The researchers cultured 240 human hair follicles from 10 healthy volunteers ex vivo, meaning outside the body in a laboratory culture environment
A study comparing the effects of L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine found that ALCAR was more effective at decreasing oxidative damage, and therefore it may be a better dietary supplement than L-carnitine (22)
Hepatic lipid clearance involves either secretion of TG-rich very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles or mitochondrial -oxidation
Your body produces it naturally, but levels decline with age, stress, poor diet, and environmental toxins
