Ischemic and reperfusion injuries in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) lead to mitochondrial dysfunction in heart cells. Lipid metabolism takes place in mitochondria where carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) enzyme system facilitates the transport of long-chain fatty acids into matrix to provide substrates for beta-oxidation. We sequenced the coding regions of CPT1B and CPT2 genes to identify the...
Earlier studies have suggested an important role of carnitine pathway in cardiovascular pathology. However, the redistribution of carnitine and acylcarnitine pools, as a result of altered carnitine metabolism, is not clearly known in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We compared the carnitine and acylcarnitine profiles of 65 AMI patients, including 26 ST-elevated myocardial infarction...
Radiation therapy is a key modality in the treatment of different cancer types. Fatigue is the most common side effect of radiotherapy, while others include nausea, hair loss, skin irritation, anemia, infertility, cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment and even the development of second cancers. Studies in experimental animals have shown protective effects of carnitine against exposure of various...
