l-carnitine function transports long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria Long chain acid activation, entry and The role of carnitine in
Description
References Hamman JJ, Kluess HA, Buckwalter JB, Clifford PS: Blood flow response to muscle contractions is more closely related to metabolic rate than contractile work
This process occurs in the mitochondria, but long chain fatty acids cannot diffuse across the mitochondrial membrane (similar to absorption into the enterocyte)
The action might also be mediated by variations in Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA), bacterial byproducts known to exert robust antinflammatory activity [181]
