“Measuring the reaction in the direction of palmitoylcarnitine plus CoA formation from palmitoyl-CoA plus carnitine ("forward reaction"), MGBG was competitive with l-carnitine.”
“While MGBG appeared to be competitive with l-carnitine for both CPT and CAT, MGBG also exhibits a number of effects which may be mediated through membrane interaction and which are not reversed by carnitine.”
