Carnitine supplementation improves insulin sensitivity and skeletal muscle acetylcarnitine formation in patients with type 2 diabetes

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of L-carnitine supplementation on insulin sensitivity and skeletal muscle acetylcarnitine levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Over 12 weeks, participants who received 2,970 mg of L-carnitine daily showed significant improvements in insulin sensitivity, including a 20.1% improvement in glucose production suppression and

Exploratory open label, randomized study of acetyl- and propionylcarnitine in chronic fatigue syndrome

This exploratory open-label, randomized study examined the effects of acetylcarnitine and propionylcarnitine on fatigue and attention concentration in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Acetylcarnitine significantly improved mental fatigue (p = 0.015), while propionylcarnitine improved general fatigue (p = 0.004), with both treatments enhancing attention concentration. However, combined treatment was
