L-carnitine and antioxidant activity -

There was a gradual increase in plasma concentrations of superoxide dismutase SOD , glutathione peroxidase GSH-Px , catalase and total antioxidative capacity T-AOC in the first 3. The plasma concentrations of SOD, GSH-Px, catalase and T-AOC returned to baseline levels within 24 h. In conclusion, L-carnitine increases activities of antioxidant enzymes and the total antioxidant capacity in healthy subjects.

It may be useful as a supplementary therapy for chronic illnesses involving excessive oxidative stress. Already have an account? Sign in here. The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine.

In this study, the antioxidant activity of L-carnitine was investigated as in vitro. The antioxidant properties of the L-carnitine were evaluated by using different antioxidant assays such as 1, 1-diphenylpicryl-hydrazyl free radical DPPH. scavenging, total antioxidant activity, reducing power, superoxide anion radical scavenging, hydrogen peroxide scavenging and metal chelating activities.

Total antioxidant activity was measured according to ferric thiocyanate method.
