Decreased long-chain acylcarnitine content increases mitochondrial coupling efficiency and prevents ischemia-induced brain damage in rats

Long-chain acylcarnitines (LCACs) are intermediates of fatty acid oxidation and are known to exert detrimental effects on mitochondria. This study aimed to test whether lowering LCAC levels with the anti-ischemia compound 4-[ethyl(dimethyl)ammonio]butanoate (methyl-GBB) protects brain mitochondrial...
