In the present study, Taiwanese research departments, therefore, investigated whether L-carnitine supplementation is able to reduce inflammation in patients with this disease. 23 (out of 47) participants were assigned to a test group that received an L-Carnitine supplement (1000 mg\/day) for 12 weeks. The other 24 patients were assigned to a placebo group. After supplementation with L-carnitine, the participants showed significantly reduced levels of the inflammatory markers CRP, IL-6, and TNF-\u03b1 compared to measurements before supplementation \u2013 and compared to the levels in the placebo group. These results indicate that L-carnitine supplementation, due to its antioxidant effects, may be helpful in the treatment of coronary artery disease.
