“In conclusion, l‐carnitine attenuated the long‐term alterations caused by doxorubicin in the germ cells and improved male reproductive capacity in adulthood.”
“For heart, DOX exposure caused decline of lipid, lactate, leucine, alanine, glutamate, choline, xanthine, glycerin, carnitine , and fumarate, together with elevation of glutamine, creatine, inosine, taurine and malate.”

“ Carnitine reduced the late testicular and spermatic damages caused by doxorubicin , probably providing a partial cytoprotection against the deleterious action of doxorubicin administration to pre‐pubertal rats.”
“Taken together, these findings show that by inhibiting …‐activated acid sphingomyelinase and ceramide generation, L‐carnitine … doxorubicin‐induced apoptosis of cardiac myocytes.—Andrieu‐Abadie, N., Jaffrézou, J.‐P., Hatem, S., Laurent, G., Levade, T., …. L‐carnitine prevents doxorubicin‐induced apoptosis of cardiac myocytes: role of inhibition of ceramide generation.”
“It was concluded from this study that 1) a relationship exists … the number of IML in normal murine cardiac muscle; 2) carnitine produces an inverse … normal relationship; 3) adriamycin disturbs the normal relationship between IML and MD; and 4) … of carnitine to adriamycin-treated animals restored the normal relationship.”
