DL-Carnitine is a racemic mixture of the quaternary ammonium stereoisomers biologically active L-carnitine and biologically inactive D-carnitine. DL-Carnitine is used in comparative studies with the pure isomers.

Serum concentration of L-carnitine, the mean thickness of the skeletal muscle fiber, and exercise performance in the forced swimming test decreased in rats receiving a carnitine-deficient diet. Treatment with L-carnitine compensated for carnitine deficiency, while racemate and D-stereoisomer did not

L-carnitine (L-beta-hydroxy-gamma-N,N,N-trimethylaminobutyric acid) is conditionally necessary for mitochondrial transport and metabolism of long-chain fatty acids, and thus for myocardial energetic metabolism. D-carnitine is not biologically active and might interfere with proper utilization of the L isomer, and so there are

L-Carnitine (L-beta-hydroxy-gamma-N,N,N-trimethylaminobutyric acid) plays an essential role in fatty acid transport in the mitochondrion. Conditions that appear to benefit from exogenous supplementation of L-carnitine include anorexia, chronic fatigue, cardiovascular disease, hypoglycemia, male infertility, muscular myopathies, renal failure and dialysis. D-Carnitine
Cardiomyocyte β3-adrenoceptors (β3-ARs) coupled to soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)-dependent production of the second messenger 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) have been shown to protect from heart failure. However, the exact localization of these receptors to fine membrane structures and subcellular compartmentation

In this study the effects of sex, meat cut and thermal processing on the carnosine, anserine, creatine, betaine and carnitine contents of Korean native chicken (KNC) meat were determined. Forty 1-day-old chicks (20 chicks of each sex) from a commercial
