Description

Application

• Lead exposure induces metabolic reprogramming in rat models.: This study by Mani MS et al. investigates the metabolic effects of lead exposure in rat models, focusing on the biochemical pathways affected. The research highlights the role of butyryl-ʟ-carnitine in counteracting lead-induced metabolic disruptions, suggesting its potential therapeutic applications in mitigating heavy metal toxicity (Mani et al., 2020).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Butyrylcarnitine is elevated in patients with Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, short-chain (SCAD) deficiency, in infants with acute acidosis and generalized muscle weakness and in middle-aged patients with chronic myopathy localized in muscle[1][2][3]; very long chain Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency[4], and celiac disease[5].
