2. Carnitine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnitine

   L-Carnitine, acetyl-l-carnitine, and propionyl-l-carnitine are available in dietary supplement pills or powders, with a daily amount of 0.5 to 1 g considered to be safe. [1] [3] It is also a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat primary and certain secondary carnitine-deficiency syndromes secondary to inherited diseases. [1 ...

3. Acetylcarnitine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcarnitine

   Acetyl-L-carnitine, ALCAR or ALC, is an acetylated form of L-carnitine.It is naturally produced by the human body, and it is available as a dietary supplement. Acetylcarnitine is broken down in the blood by plasma esterases to carnitine which is used by the body to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria for breakdown and ener

4. Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycine_propionyl-l-carnitine

   Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine (GPLC) is a propionyl ester of carnitine that includes an additional glycine component. Due to tissues esterases enzymes, GPLC should act as a prodrug and lead to glycine, carnitine and propionic acid in the body.

5. Carnitine biosynthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnitine_biosynthesis

   The second step of L-carnitine biosynthesis requires the 3-hydroxy-N ε-trimethyllysine aldolase enzyme. 3-hydroxy-N ε-trimethyllysine aldolase is a pyridoxal phosphate dependent aldolase, and it catalyses the cleavage of 3-hydroxy-N ε-trimethyllysine into 4-N-trimethylaminobutyraldehyde and glycine.

6. Palmitoylcarnitine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmitoylcarnitine

   Palmitoylcarnitine is an ester derivative of carnitine involved in the metabolism of fatty acids.During the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), fatty acids undergo a process known as β-oxidation to produce energy in the form of ATP. β-oxidation occurs primarily within mitochondria, however the mitochondrial membrane prevents the entry of long chain fatty acids (>C10), so the conversion of fatty ...

7. Fatty-acid metabolism disorder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty-acid_metabolism_disorder

   The term fatty acid oxidation disorder (FAOD) is sometimes used, especially when there is an emphasis on the oxidation of the fatty acid. [3] In addition to the fetal complications, they can also cause complications for the mother during pregnancy. [4] Examples include: Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency (MTPD) [3] MCADD, LCHADD ...

9. Gamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-butyrobetaine_di...

   Gamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase (also known as BBOX, GBBH or γ-butyrobetaine hydroxylase) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BBOX1 gene. [5] [6] Gamma-butyrobetaine dioxygenase catalyses the formation of L-carnitine from gamma-butyrobetaine, the last step in the L-carnitine biosynthesis pathway. [7]
