Intravenous L-carnitine increases plasma carnitine, reduces fatigue, and may preserve exercise capacity in hemodialysis patients

This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of intravenous L-carnitine supplementation on fatigue and exercise capacity in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis. Patients received L-carnitine at doses of 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, or 40 mg/kg thrice weekly for 24 weeks. While primary analysis showed no significant improvement

Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Mitochondrial Respiration and Physical Performance in Middle-Aged Athletes: A Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial

This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial examined the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on mitochondrial function and physical performance in 37 healthy middle-aged master athletes. Participants underwent 40 sessions of either HBOT (2 absolute atmospheres (ATA), breathing 100% oxygen for 1 hour) or a sham treatment (1.02 ATA, breathing air
