Progression of atherosclerosis with carnitine supplementation: a randomized controlled trial in the metabolic syndrome

Progression of atherosclerosis with carnitine supplementation: a randomized controlled trial in the metabolic syndrome

Abstract Background L-carnitine (L-C), a ubiquitous nutritional supplement, has been investigated as a potential therapy for cardiovascular disease, but its effects on human atherosclerosis are unknown. Clinical studies suggest improvement of some cardiovascular risk factors, whereas others show inc...
