Biological Activity
Palmitoylcarnitine (5-20 μM, 5 min) increases [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner in adult rat cardiomyocytes, with 15 μM showing a significant and reversible effect without affecting cell viability[2]. Palmitoylcarnitine (15 μM, 5 min) increases [Ca2+]i in adult rat cardiomyocytes through L-type Ca2+ channels, Na+-Ca2+ exchange, and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release[2]. Palmitoylcarnitine (5, 10 μM, overnight) inhibits Akt Ser473 phosphorylation and reduces insulin signaling in C2C12 cells[3].

Animal Model:Palmitoylcarnitine (HY-126357)-induced insulin resistance CD-1 mouse model[3]
-
Dosage:50 mg/kg (s.c. or i.p., single dose) or 10 mg/kg (s.c., long-term administration)
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.), single dose; Continuously released for 24 hours via a subcutaneous osmotic minipump (s.c.)., single dose Subcutaneous osmotic minipump (s.c.), once daily for 28 days.
-
Result:Increased muscle long-chain acylcarnitine content, elevated blood glucose levels in both fasted and fed states, and decreased muscle glucose uptake (i.p.). Induced glucose intolerance, delayed energy metabolism shift, and reduced insulin sensitivity (s.c., single dose). induced insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, blocked insulin-mediated blood glucose reduction, increased blood lactate levels, and impaired glucose metabolism (s.c., long-term administration).
