Caloric restriction and L-carnitine administration improves insulin sensitivity in patients with impaired glucose metabolism / Molfino, A., Cascino, A., Conte, C., Ramaccini, C., Rossi Fanelli, F., Laviano, A.. - In: JPEN. JOURNAL OF PARENTERAL AND ENTERAL NUTRITION. - ISSN 0148-6071. - 34:3(2010), pp. 295-299. [10.1177/0148607109353440]
Abstract:
Reduced circulating and tissue carnitine levels, possibly leading to impaired mitochondrial function, have been postulated to be involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. However, whether L-carnitine administration may improve insulin sensitivity in patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2) is still controversial. The aim of the study was to explore the role of L-carnitine supplementation in influencing insulin sensitivity.
