People with variants in the SLC22A5 gene (often referred to as carnitine transporter deficiency) which results in carnitine deficiency can have skeletal myopathy and/or cardiomyopathy [7]

A healthcare provider may, in this case, advise the use of an injectable form of carnitine

A recent meta-analysis showed that L-carnitine has numerous cardioprotective properties, which may be mediated through improved mitochondrial function, elevated antioxidant status and lowered oxidative stress 8

This works because L-carnitine L-tartrate undergoes transamination in the liver

Furthermore, our results revealed that l-Carnitine reduced PFOS-mediated autophagy through the suppression of ROS levels, which is supported by the results of another study that revealed that l-Carnitine attenuates autophagy induction by suppressing ROS production in C2C12 cells 39
