Description

(R)-Amino carnitine is a pancreatic enzyme that is used as an experimental treatment for fatty liver disease. It has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids, which are the main components of triglycerides. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to a decrease in the production of triglycerides and their accumulation in the liver, thereby reducing hepatic steatosis. (R)-Amino carnitine also has an inhibitory effect on protein synthesis, which is important for the conversion of amino acids into proteins essential for cell division and growth. This mechanism may explain its beneficial effects on insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes.
