“In the presence of ATP and CoA, L‐carnitine stimulated oleic acid oxidation and suppressed the oleic acid‐induced depolarization, swelling, and Cyt.”
“These results suggest that L‐carnitine acts to maintain mitochondrial function and suppresses oleic acid‐mediated MPT through acceleration of β‐oxidation.”

“Although insignificant, carnitine increased oleic acid oxidation to approximately 8%, and resulted in a decrease in endogenous lipid oxidation, which was 2–12% of the total substrates oxidized.”
“ Carnitine (about 0.1 mM) maximally stimulated State 3 respiration due to oleic and gondoic acids about three-fold (coenzyme A present), and coenzyme A (10--20 micrometer) stimulated about two-fold (carnitine present).”
