The physiologically active form of the medium-chain acylcarnitine octanoyl-L-carnitine is a marker of medium-chain acetyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, and is also a marker in the ratios of β-ketothiolase deficiency, holocarboxylase synthesis, biotinidase, and glutaric acidemia. typical and other metabolic disorders.
In the body, octanoyl-L-carnitine may enhance fatty acid oxidation, increase energy expenditure, improve insulin sensitivity, and have neuroprotective effects. Octanoyl-L-carnitine-d3 is a high-purity deuterated compound suitable for pharmaceutical and biochemical research.
