dc.description.abstractCarnitine plays a role in the transport of activated long chain fatty acyl groups from the site of activation to the site of beta-oxidation in the mitochondria. Endogenous synthesis of carnitine from the amino acids methionine and lysine, takes place mainly in the liver. From there free and acyl carnitine are released into the blood and transported to other tissues.A few studies have indicated that poor nutritional status may lead to carnitine deficiency.[Abbreviated Abstract.
