Background:

L-Carnitine is an essential metabolite that has diverse roles in metabolism, most notably facilitating the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix for β-oxidation. L-Carnitine is obtained from dietary sources or by the metabolism of lysine and methioinine. D-Carnitine is an analog of L-carnitine that, in the range of 0.25-1 mM, inhibits the uptake of L-carnitine by cells.
