“The catalytic efficiency (V max/K m ) of CPT I in mutants A478G and C608A and all Met593 mutants toward carnitine as substrate was clearly increased.”

“In the carnitine-depleted rats, CP induced dramatic increases in CK-MB and LDH levels, carnitine clearance and intramitochondrial acetyl-CoA/CoA-SH, as well as progressive reduction in total carnitine and ATP in cardiac tissues.”
“In carnitine-depleted rats, CP resulted in dramatic increase in serum nephrotoxicity indices and acetyl-CoA and induced progressive reduction in total carnitine , CoA-SH and ATP as well as severe histopathological lesions in kidney tissues.”
