Description

Octanoyl-L-carnitine (OCT) is a form of carnitine that is used to treat metabolic disorders. It is a form of carnitine that can be taken orally, which means it can be taken without injections. OCT has been shown to increase the levels of adenine nucleotides in the body, which are needed for energy production. OCT has also been shown to lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels and to reduce body weight. Octanoyl-L-carnitine may also be used as a diagnostic tool for diseases that affect mitochondria or fatty acid metabolism in liver cells, such as cardiac or granulosa cell tumors.
