In questo contesto, l'uso di L-Carnitina, a dosaggi farmacologici, pertanto di stretta pertinenza medica, si sarebbe rivelato utilissimo nel controllare la progressione della malattia e nel migliorare lo stato di salute complessivo del paziente affetto
The first subgroup encompassed studies in which ALC was administered as monotherapy and evaluated against placebo (n=8)
Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl, also known as ALCAR, is a supplement that has shown potential in various therapeutic areas apart from the function it primarily serves - that is, facilitating the transportation of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation
Based on reading some of the websites it seems that their hypothesis is that because ALC is involved in the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria, which gets energy from fatty acids, that means ALC helps burn fat. There is not much in the scientific literature on this topic, but I did come across an article that found no difference in metabolic parameters in study participants taking L-carnitine versus controls (not exactly the same things as acetyl-L-carnitine, but they are used somewhat similarly in the body, there just isnt the extra acetyl group in the L-carnitine)
