Since diets high in red meat have been strongly related to heart disease and mortality [62], LC has been proposed as the red meat nutrient responsible for atherosclerosis promotion [8]
For example, in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 60 participants diagnosed with an acute MI, neither mortality nor echocardiographic measures of cardiac function differed between patients treated with intravenous L-carnitine (6 g/day) for seven days followed by oral L-carnitine (3 g/day) for three months and those given a placebo (49)
The shots usually don't hurt, but some people have a slight stinging sensation
This was demonstrated using a 21-mer peptide analogous to N-terminal portion of human globin (sequence VLSPADKTNWGHEYRMFCQIG)
Reaction with a free amine function of an amino acid occurs rapidly to give the "protected" amino acid derivative shown in the center
