L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring quaternary ammonium compound biosynthesized from lysine and methionine, essential for the transport of long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane for beta-oxidation. In research models, L-Carnitine has been studied extensively for its role in mitochondrial fatty acid utilization, energy substrate metabolism, acetyl-CoA regulation, and its influence on endurance capacity, exercise performance signaling pathways, and cardiometabolic function. It serves as an obligate cofactor in the carnitine shuttle system, acting as a carrier for acyl groups between cellular compartments. Show more
