Myristoyl-L-carnitine-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of myristoyl-L-carnitine by GC- or LC-MS. Myristoyl-L-carnitine is a naturally occurring long-chain acylcarnitine. Plasma levels of myristoyl-L-carnitine are decreased in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and increased in patients with end-stage renal disease.
Myristoyl-L-carnitine-d3 Hydrochloride is labelled Myristoyl-L-carnitine Hydrochloride (M884745), a long-chain fatty ester of carnitine which is accumulated and released into the circulation, in fatty-acid oxidation defects. Pattern of Lauroyl-L-carnitine can be diagnostic for a number of ?-oxidation defects.
