Abstract

Carnitine is an essential nitrogenous nutrition that is facilitates transport of branched-chain fatty acid into mitochondria. This substrate has to potential role in energy production during fetus, newborn and adult years. The carnitine vital role is important in improving of some diseases such as diabetic, hemodyalis, HIV, carnitine genetic deficiency, man infertility, weight loss and exercise functional. The drug use and exercise supplemental from carnitine led not to strenuous accidents in disease and sport. The diagnosis of benefit effects of carnitine need to numerous study.
