“Cleft palate, spina bifida, exencephaly incidence were 21.42%, 4.76% and 9.52% in the group which received CP plus L-carnitine (250 mg/kg), respectively.”
“However, cleft palate, spina bifida, and exencephaly incidence were 8%, 0% and 8% range in the group received CP plus L-carnitine (500 mg/kg), respectively.”
“In conclusion, L-carnitine significantly decreased teratogenicity induced by CP ; but this subject needs more detailed evaluation.”
