[56] demonstrated that L-propionylcarnitine (L-PC), a propionyl ester of L-carnitine, is able to prevent CyA-induced acute nephrotoxicity, reducing lipid peroxidation in the isolated and perfused rat kidney in vitro
Neuroprotective action was also obtained due to acetyl-l-carnitine metabolisms into pyruvate, which is a source of energy for neurons [24, 25]
Elevated circulating IGF-1 led to an activation of the IGF-1PI3KAkt signalling pathway, causing augmented mTOR phosphorylation and higher phospho-FoxO/total FoxO ratio in skeletal muscle of LC supplemented rats [33]
