Abnormalities of carnitine metabolism in human diseases
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2012, Vol 35, Issue 4
Abstract
Recently many new diseases involving abnormalities of the carnitine metabolism have been reported. It is very important for every one in the medical field to understand the role carnitine plays in such pathological conditions. I focus especially on some iatrogenic diseases. 1. Hypofreecarnitinemia in drug intake (Sodium valproate, Antibiotics containing pivoxil). 2. Hypofreecarnitinemia in formulas for special medical purposes, enteral nutrient intake, and total parenteral nutrition therapy.
