  2. Effects of carnitine on medium-chain fatty acid metabolism in newborn pigs

    van Kempen, Theo A.T.G.University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2011

    Metabolism of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) is considered to be independent of carnitine because of their passive diffusion into the mitochondrion. However, upon feeding medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) to piglets (n = 16) followed by serial blood sampling, we observed significant changes in free …
