The hydrophobic tail of LCACs can be inserted into the membrane and may trigger the nonspecific activation of signaling pathways in the inner mitochondrial membrane to modulate its function, providing new insights into the unique mechanism of action of acylcarnitines in mitochondrial homeostasis [25]
For example, C16-carnitine (10 M) may impair mitochondrial function in rat ventricular myocytes by accelerating ROS production and increasing the probability of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, whereas low concentrations (1 and 5 M) of C16-carnitine lightly hyperpolarize the m but do not open the mPTP [293]
Side effects and precautions L-Carnitine is generally well tolerated, but it may cause side effects in some people
