Quantitation at 214 nm from the amide backbone is more sensitive but far less selective, so it will count impurities as product unless the separation is adequate
End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients on maintenance hemodialysis may have low plasma carnitine concentrations and an increased ratio of acylcarnitine/carnitine because of reduced intake of meat and dairy products, reduced renal synthesis and dialytic losses
The peptide appears to enhance cellular resistance to oxidative stress, chemical damage, and other insults
In early studies, the addition of oral L-carnitine or propionyl-L-carnitine to pharmacologic therapy for chronic stable angina modestly improved exercise tolerance and decreased electrocardiographic signs of ischemia during exercise testing in some angina patients (59-61)
