Acetylcarnitine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

In this work, we have reported that for given doses and temporal ranges ALC was able to block sensitization and to impair dishabituation mimicked by the injection of 5-HT or 8Br-cAMP, a membrane permeable analogue of cAMP.
Our results show that a single treatment with 2mM ALC was the most effective concentration to block the onset of sensitization induced by 5-HT injection and its major effects occurred 11 days after ALC treatment.

Furthermore, ALCAR supplementation increased the levels of the neurotransmitters noradrenaline in the HF and serotonin in cortex, consistent with ALCAR's potential efficacy for depressive symptoms.

A 7-day administration of ALCAR in rats increased dopamine and serotonin output in the nucleus accumbens shell and it prevented the development of escape deficit produced by acute exposure to unavoidable stress.

L-Acetylcarnitine increased both excitatory and inhibitory responses to 5-HT and its effect on the increase in firing rate induced by serotonergic drugs was reduced by dihydro-beta-erythroidine, but not by atropine.
These results suggest a stereospecific facilitatory action of acetylcarnitine on neuronal responses to acetylcholine and 5-HT.
