The Determination of Acute Oral L-Carnitine Ingestion on Physiological and Biochemical Parameters Related with Lipids in Endurance Exercise

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Despite an abundance of literature, describing the basic mechanisms of action of L-carnitine, there remains some uncertainty regarding the effects of supplementation on fatty metabolism in healthy subjects. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of a...

In first stage, exercise protocol performed without L-carnitine or placebo (Lactose) supplementation. In second stage, exercise protocol performed with acute L-carnitine or placebo supplementation (3g, 90 minute before exercise). Blood samples were taken immediately after exercise protocol for analyze and calculation plasma concentrations of free fatty acid, triglyceride and the other fat metabolism indexes (LDL, HDL, TC, Lipase (and then two groups were compared.FINDINGS: The finding showed that there were no significantly differences between pre and posttest in plasma concentrations of free fatty acid (0.69±0.24 versus 0.72±0.14 mg/dL and triglyceride (158±46 versus 155±47 mg/dL.
