During this study, 47 patients were divided into a group receiving 1000 mg\/day L-carnitine orally (23 patients) and a group receiving a placebo (24 patients) for 12 weeks. L-carnitine levels and various lipids, including cholesterol, HDL, and triglycerides, were measured. Supplementation led to a significantly improved L-carnitine level, HDL status, and enhanced activity of antioxidant enzymes. Moreover, the level of triglycerides in the supplementation group decreased after 12 weeks. According to the researchers, the lipid-lowering effect may be related to the antioxidative ability of L-carnitine. More details can be found in the study.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>Lee et al.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a style=\"color: #5aadcb;\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27317162\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to article &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary This Taiwanese study aimed to investigate the lipid-lowering effects of L-carnitine supplementation in coronary artery disease patients.
