(±)-Carnitine
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
(±)-Carnitine (DL-Carnitine) is an orally effective racemic mixture of L-Carnitine (HY-B0399) and D-Carnitine. (±)-Carnitine elevates the mitochondrial NAD+/NADH ratio in the presence of 1,3-butanediol (HY-77490A). (±)-Carnitine does not increase glucose and urea production from L-glutamine, but stimulates propionate gluconeogenesis in rat renal cortical slices, and significantly reduces hepatic ketone body levels in rats fed a diet containing 30% high fat plus 20% 1,3-butanediol.

Significantly decreased liver acetoacetate levels from 0.325 ± 0.028 to 0.214 ± 0.037 μmoles/g wet weight in rats fed a 30% fat plus 20% 1,3-butanediol diet.
Significantly decreased liver β-hydroxybutyrate levels from 0.694 ± 0.083 to 0.383 ± 0.087 μmoles/g wet weight in rats fed a 30% fat plus 20% 1,3-butanediol diet.
Caused a slight, non-significant decrease in acetyl CoA levels in rats fed a 30% fat plus 20% 1,3-butanediol diet.
Increased α-oxoglutarate levels from 0.098 ± 0.016 to 0.160 ± 0.014 μmoles/g wet weight in rats fed a 30% fat plus 20% 1,3-butanediol diet.
Increased the cytoplasmic NADP+/NADPH ratio from 0.0049 ± 0.0005 to 0.0070 ± 0.0003 in rats fed a 30% fat plus 20% 1,3-butanediol diet.
Increased the mitochondrial NAD+/NADH ratio from 3.26 ± 0.69 to 5.66 ± 0.43 in rats fed a 30% fat plus 20% 1,3-butanediol diet.
