Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

The difference in plasma TC concentration in study A and 24-h urinary TC excretion in both studies suggests that insulin augmented the retention of carnitine in the CHO trials.

Diminished carnitine plasma levels have been previously reported in T1D patients and carnitine increases the sensitivity of the cells to insulin.
BMC Medical Genetics  •  2006  |  View Paper
This study demonstrates that insulin can acutely increase muscle TC content in humans during hypercarnitinemia, which is associated with an increase in OCTN2 transcription.

Carnitine supplementation further enhanced insulin sensitivity ex vivo.

In combination, however, carnitine and insulin sharply suppressed pyruvate oxidation (75%) and doubled the rate of palmitate oxidation.
They also suggest that plasma carnitine in vivo may interact with insulin both additively and permissively on the metabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acids
When carnitine and insulin were administered together, their effects on the oxidation of glucose and palmitate, but not on glycolysis, were additive.
