Carnitine in Human Muscle Bioenergetics: Can Carnitine Supplementation Improve Physical Exercise?

This review article explores the role of l-carnitine in muscle bioenergetics and evaluates its potential benefits for exercise performance. l-Carnitine is essential for transporting long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for β-oxidation, a key energy-producing process in muscles. While some studies suggest supplementation may enhance fatty acid oxidation, improve energy production,
