L‐Carnitine (β‐hydroxy‐γ‐trimethyl aminobutyric acid) plays a critical role in inflammatory diseases by modulating inflammatory cell functions. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), a proinflammatory enzyme responsible for the generation of nitric oxide (NO), has been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. Mechanism of action of L‐carnitine on inflammation via iNOS and nuclear factor κB (NF‐κB) is unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of L‐carnitine on…

ALC was effective, unlike l‐carnitine, in decreasing oxidative damage, including MDA, oxo8dG/oxo8G, and nitrotyrosine, at the same dose in old rat brain, and these data suggest that ALC may be a better dietary supplement than l‐ c Carnitine.
